    Rear Disc Conversion

    Regardless, it is mandatory to change the brake pressure proportioning valve.

    1994 Corolla - New Owner!

    Tie Rods aren't that bad (the outer ones anyway, the inner ones are a PITA on FWD vehicles). When you go to replace the outer tie-rod ends, before putting the new one on, grab the inner tie-rod and tug on it in and out. If there is play there, those need to be replaced as well. A new inner...

    2010 Toyota Corolla Torque Converter Solenoid Issues - Please Help

    1. Bring it to that mechanic, tell him you want the code fixed or you want a refund on the prior work done, and that he isn't getting another cent to fix it. Hopefully he actually fixes it (emphasize that you don't owe him anything else since you already paid him to fix the code, regardless if...

    LED Turn Signal Lights

    Either that, or the unit itself is shorting from using too much solder.

    LED Turn Signal Lights

    Sounds like you got the wrong bulb. There is 7443, and 7443 CLK, and it sounds like you were accidentally sent or accidentally ordered a 7443 CLK.

    2010 Corolla - Front and Rear Placement for Hydraulic Jack

    Wow, that's a trip they use ABS plastic, but it is probably to minimize metal to metal contact so that you don't scratch or scuff the paint.

    Starter Sometimes Grinds

    Yeah, I'd pull the starter motor and inspect it, quickly.

    2009 - Should I Change the Oil?

    I loosen the cap but I don't completely remove it, but I grew up in the desert so it was out of habit (sand in the engine anyone?). Loosening the cap is enough to allow for rapid oil draining. Also, and it is a little OCD ... but my car takes 4.4 quarts and I buy 5, so that extra 0.6 quarts I...

    2010 Corolla - Front and Rear Placement for Hydraulic Jack

    LOL! I remember bumper jacks. On a plastic car you'd rip the cover clean off. Don't think they could be used on any car built in this decade or the last decade.

    2009 Toyota Corolla Blower Motor Problems

    I saw an ad in the newspaper classifieds about 10 years back. '71 Dodge Challenger, plum crazy, white interior, 440 six-pack, $2,500. The owner died and the wife had no idea what she had. I went to her house at 7:00 a.m. to look at the car, and it was gone. Someone woke her up at 5:30 to buy...

    2009 Toyota Corolla Blower Motor Problems

    Good luck finding someone that will let it go ... LOL! Better off finding a Challenger with a 383 and swapping.

    Give us the number for the code. There are at least a dozen codes that relate to the HO2S

    2002 Corolla Hesitation Under Load and P0441

    I would fix the 3 stripped holes. You should be able to heli-coil it but I couldn't tell without looking at the valve cover itself. I dunno what you mean by a gram pushing through or shorts, as those bolts don't carry current; however, the bolts being lose can cause the coil to have a loose...

    2009 Toyota Corolla Blower Motor Problems

    440 is a monster. I'd love to get a hold of a '71 Challenger and drop a 440 in it ... and I'm a Ford guy (when it comes to domestics anyway).

    Owner Complaints For The 2014 Corolla

    Toyota designed the CVT to have as little parasitic effect on power as possible. They achieved this by changing the hydraulic pump design of the transmission to limit slippage while also reducing drag on the engine.
