6G Celicas Forums

When I took the car apart i actually took the rear beam off totally and just had the tracking rods loose. I tried using a blow lamp and a breakers bar but to no avail. I could use oxy acetylene kit but im worried about changing the properties of the metal so much that is could fail. Can i do this?

I have bought a set of these bushes for my celica and a couple of them i am having trouble fitting. I cant seem to get the 8" bolt out that goes through the rear hub and its totally jammed in place. Were yours stuck or do you have any suggestions for their removal? I cant get the control arms off at all either :S. Atleast i have fitted 6 out of 12 bushes which has stopped the majority of the suspension knocking

Ok thank you, ill have a look hopefully tonight and let you know what state they are in.

Hey all,

Iv been looking at the forum over the last few weeks and it has solved many problems for many people and I'm wondering if you can help me.

Firstly ill describe the problem. When I drive the car and when I change gear, what every gear I change into I get a clunk as the gear it put under load (I don't get a clunk as it is pushed into place but only when I put the power down). I have lifted the front of the car and turned both wheels and there is about 4" of backlash (if you mark the edge of the tyre with a pen it moves about 4" before stopping). Is this a common problem that can be fixed or is it a gearbox change? I thought it was a dodgy gear but it feels too uniform to be just 1 gear as its equal in all of them.

If it helps I own an ST202 SS-II and about 150,000Km on the clock.

Thanks for reading

Sam
