I just completed this repair. On my 11 year old 2011 with about 260k miles. This is the first time anything about this repair has been touched, so I was unnecessarily worried about the O2 sensor. I fought most of the sensor off, but the center piece wouldn’t budge. I used a Dremel in an attempt...

My 2011 just lost both low beams at the same time, and I think the passenger side front marker light. I’m going to dig into it in the morning and figured I’d ask here for where to check for failure points. I’m going straight for the fuses first, then bulbs. My fog lights and high beams switch...

Nope. I'm heading from near AOAA to near NYC for an aquarium tradeshow. Wanna wave as we pass each other on 80?

19VAC30-70-500. Tires, Wheels, Rims. This is the statute for wheels in VA and I can find no mention of wheel spacers. I read a few other sections and could find no mention of wheel spacers anywhere, so I think you will be fine if the spacers are of good quality. I'd call an inspection station...

Well this thread just got bookmarked. I'll have to do this sometime this year.

lowcel, did you need any specialty tools for the job? My sunroof is having issues so the headliner needs to go while I get it sorted out.

Did someone say Wawa? I'm in! Who's running?

I'd read something about the driveshaft needing to be greased as a possible cause of some noise. I don't know enough about it to say it's your issue, but here's the thread if you're interested.

Bookmarked it for later. Thanks!

Fortunately, they're both the same here, something like $35/year. MY Ram 3500 was about $200/year because PA bases truck registrations on GVW.

I just looked mine up by license plate and state...said a 2010 Corolla. I guess I'll have to check my VIN.

My timeline: Paid 12/6, got the confirmation email. Emailed 12/17, no response. Called 12/18 during shop hours, went to voicemail. No return call. Contacted Paypal 12/19 Got shipping notice on 12/21 and the package arrived a couple days later. Their communication is their weak point, IMO. I...

Resurrecting this post. I said the same thing after going through this over the weekend. Although I am just an amateur I have been wrenching for over 30 years on my stuff. This was probably the most frustrating job I have ever done. Similar experience here. I half contemplated torching the...

My 2011 w/126k just had the same exact issue. @bumper2bumperauto makes a hub and wheel bearing that are already pressed together. I recently ordered 2 bearings from him and bought an impact wrench since I'm getting lazy. It took me maybe 2.5 hours to do both sides in my on-street parking, which...

I was getting a pull to the right upon brake application. With about 120k on the clock, I put new calipers and rotors on all around along with front hoses. I figured that if I was pulling everything apart for new pads and rotors, I might as well do the calipers. I can now hammer on the brakes...
