Hey thanks 'New' I'm leaning away from the bearing now 'cause the noise isn't there all the time... could be very wrong there?? Might start with the belt etc, and see what happens from there. Although, i guess while it's apart, should do the bearing at the same time, just in case :idea: Thanks again

I'm sorry if my questions seem too simple for you all to pay any attention to, but i've contacted toyota in an attempt to locate a genuine part and they want to sell me the whole pully etc. Is it possible to just get the bearing alone? Will i have to take it out first and try a bearing shop? Any ...

you can notice the difference but it's only mild. will fit a new o2 sensor and maybe get a tune when i get the chance. how's the heat!!! is it possible/effective to get it heat wrapped once they're in??

MRT are best for DIY - come ready to bolt on with flex and gearbox mount. If you can see before you buy they'd be worth a look.

My bet is it's your shackle and eye bushes squeaking. Mine were doing the same (when bouncing up and down on the tow bar) until a liberal dose of silicone spray fixed them. ;) yeah i figured the squeaking would be a little less critical, it's more the rattle i'm worried about. i'll try and get on ...

i think they're standard leafs, hasn't been lifted etc... the noise is definately in the rear. everything they have scribbled in their report applies to the rear except the bit about the "driveshafts moving in hubs" ??
