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, confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif

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.
