So I've been hearing a rattling noise in the old Celica..
And recently a sudden loss of power when the car in gear (revs like a charm while not engaged) But... when I took the car in for an oil change the mechanic noted that "A couple drive axels are busted" Not to be stupid (I know what they do.. but I need an explanation for my car's power loss): What are the purpose of these? .. and when damaged will there be any noticeable poewr loss when driving. The car still drives. Only rattles under high acceleration under 50km/h... Lemme know.. thanks Shaun |

sounds more like a CV problem. If they are gone, it is not to bad a fix, just get remanufactured axels form Partsource or somebody like that. Don't get from Toyota, they are an arm, leg and left testicle.
As to the power problem,  Is it a uniform loss of power, or intermittant? Does the power loss conincide with any weather condidtions? btw: you were looking for places to buy a 3SGTE right? I have found a few places in Canada that supply them if you are interested. |
