Got my letter today, doubt it will be an issue but will file it away just in case.
But I wonder how many people are going to start hearing noises based on their receipt of this letter?!?

Could call Toyota customer service and ask if the T.S.B. is on its way . Think it's 1-800-331-4331 . May try it tomorrow .

That's when I first started hearing the rattle, more like a thunk sound. Since my bolts were replaced, I no longer hear it.

It actually takes me longer to put one of my cars on the lift than it does to swap out the bolts, but if one was sheared off, it would turn into a nightmare job, which is probably why the TSB lists it as an 8 hour job.

One day we thought we heard a loud snap from the front as if something broke off due to being under pressure . Maybe it was debri on the road .

Looks like I could do this even on my parkade without a lift (just by jacking the car) |

I think so. I did all three of my Yaris a couple of months ago, just to be safe, for about $12 total.

Thank you. This is very reassuring. My hesitancy re getting it checked out (even though sans noise) was fueled quite a bit by thinking an examination might likely equal a 'no return trip' to a repair that could end up taking 8 hours.

^^^^^ I wish Toyota (via the T.S.B) had described this the way you did above. It would have saved those of us who are out of warranty the thought of needing a potential 8 hour repair.

Called Toyota and they gave a reference number for when brought in . There's creaking from the rear end as well ( culprit ? ) . Have it in stereo at times . Anyway , here are the bolts taken yesterday ( right ones I hope ) . Look o.k. ? Last , how does CT get his undercarriage so clean ?

I would really like to see one of the bolts that has failed on someone's car. With the size of the bolts I don't believe that they can rust deep enough to weaken enough to fail. I have a funny feeling that the bolts in question have an issue where they were made either too soft or too brittle. For the rear creaking, the springs or rear brakes are usually the culprit of that one. My 09 was doing it and I hit the perches with a light coat of silicone oil and it went away. Don't you wax the bottom of your car too?

" I would really like to see one of the bolts that has failed on someone's car. "
Would be nice to see a picture of the snaaped off bolt . Very slim chance . " With the size of the bolts I don't believe that they can rust deep enough to weaken enough to fail. I have a funny feeling that the bolts in question have an issue where they were made either too soft or too brittle. " Makes sense . " For the rear creaking, the springs or rear brakes are usually the culprit of that one. My 09 was doing it and I hit the perches with a light coat of silicone oil and it went away. " Thanks . " Don't you wax the bottom of your car too? " No . Don't wax the cars at all . A lift sure would be helpful . Maybe Santa will drop one off . |
