I will check him out . Thank you.

I will keep everyone posted on the where, when, and how I get it done. If it will help anyone here I'm glad to because this forum has helped my through problems for both the $runners I've owned.

Thanks for the input. I was looking at the KYB. Lot of good comment/experiences with them on here. I agree a few shops around here won't use used parts at all and some won't even use the new parts. They want to upcharge me for buying from them.

Hello all, I replaced my XREAS system 3 years ago the warranty ran out and I have one that just started to leak. I have read all the posts and have heard really good ideas. I have an 07 V8 sports edition. I'm looking for a shop in central Florida (Lakeland area) that will take care...

OK. Thanks for the help. You all sound like the arguments that are going on in my head. I don't care too much about the fancy bells and whistles. I don't care about the safety sense and blind spot monitoring types of options. I love the All-Wheel because I live in Florida and in the...

I use it as a daily driver but I do a lot of driving in sand, mud, and flooded roads. I am leaning toward the SR5. Any drawbacks from your experience in snow?

Huh, I hadn' t thought of that one. Thanks , I'll look a little deeper at the Lexus.

Thanks to all for your input. I'll be getting it done Monday. It is nice to know what and how much before you get taken for a ride by a mechanic.

What's a wheel bearing cost to replace? parts and labor, roughly?

It sounds like rubbing or excessive road noise. It doesn't pull one way or another. I can feel the vibration through the gas petal.

Vehicle: 2007 V8 SE 4WD Problem: There is a vibration/rubbing sound. I think it's coming from the front right tire. Is stops if I'm making a left turn or a deep left curve and as soon as I straighten the wheel it continues. I can't find anything upon visual inspection. I can't get it looked at...

I was hoping someone had the same situation. I figured start with the battery, alternator, then starter. I read all the threads on replacing the contacts and removal of the starter or keeping it in and replacing the contacts. I was prepared for it but dreading the time and aggravation. So...

Hey Guys, I'm a Florida resident with a CCW. Your choice to carry reflects on your own personal experiences. If I had never been a victim of a crime or knew someone who had been victimized by another, my opinion would definitely be different. I grew up with a single mother who carried. Her...
