Bump once more!

Careful,

Based on my experience, taht grind can be due to a broken axel shaft, or due to bad wheel bearing.

BUMP!

Hi guys,

I have for sale a brand new Cardone remanufactered brake caliper for the front passenger side for the Celica GT model.

Brake caliper only: no pads, no bracket.

I'm kindly asking for 75$. I will ship if you're willing to pay.

Thanks for looking.

Hey guys,

It turns out that I had a bad wheel bearing in the knuckle. I tried pulling on the hub, and part of the bearing came off! I saw the little bearings in the encasing.

So I got a used knuckle with bearings, replaced the axel shaft again and everything is running smoothly.

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks a million.

Hey all,

I am planning put in new bearings/knuckle and will probably need to realign my car.

Would anyone happen to know the specifications?

Also, I heard that front toe-ins are normal in cars in order to compensate for high-speed driving? Would anyone care to elaborate on this?

Thanks a lot

Hey,

I recently replaced a single wheel stud on my front hub. I used a hammer to bash the old one out, and a hammer again to bash another one in. Seems to work.

...nice freakin parts you got there man

It's at the end of the axle shaft that broke. The part that is visible from the outside, if you were to take that cap off the center of the rims you would see that the outer part of the shaft is missing a rod that is suppose to protrude beyond the alloy rims. I'll try to take pics asap. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can diagnose the problem with my car. Several months ago, my front axel shaft broke--for reasons I am still unsure of--and so I had it replaced. Then, just a day ago, the new one broke again! This happened while I was turning a little (just a little) sharply around a corner.

I am very unsure as to why this would happen again, especially to a new one. I'm thinking that I must have not solved a deeper problem--perhaps its worn out ball bearing in the knuckle? Perhaps its the knuckle itself? ...my brakes were also a little soft lately, because I changed the braking pads a few days ago and I don't think I bled the lines properly.

Either way, Im unsure why a brand new axel shaft would break again, under only very slight sharp turning.


Any suggestino?


Thanks all!

Hi 6GC members, I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this question. I understand that there is some leeway whenever we're choosing the tires for our rims. The tires on my current rims are 205/55R15, but to replace these would cost me a fortune (250$ at the local Canadian Tires?).

I have a spare pair of 185/65R15, and was wondering if I can fit these to the rear tires. Would someone with more knowledge be able to confirm with me if this will fit with my current rims?

My rims are the stock ones, so looks like this: http://www.6gc.net/photo/howto/151/5


Also, with these rims, does anybody know what other tire sizes I can fit on? It doesn't have to be high performance, really. It's just that 205/55R15 is very hard to find around here.

Thanks

K
