Kiunno Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Lads and Lassies, I am back in love with my Supra and thanks in most part to everybody on Supra.net After reading posts I have noticed and fixed : 1. Loss of Boost,crapped myself in case #2 Turbo was on way out but eventually found boost pipe slightly loose on Top of the Intercooler where it enters. 2. Removed dash and traced wires to TRAC computer to check TRAC switch.(which stil dosen't work) 3. Creaking and tapping front suspension, found loose nut on lower wishbone front, got about a half turn on the nut, reduced the tapping. 4. Really annoying boot rattle, replaced boot rubbers for about E5 a piece,p.s. plenty of wd40 sprayed hours b4 hand and a bit of thickness = no impact driver or drill required....theres more:rolleyes: 5. Replaced all stabiliser bar links (drop links) approx' E170 6. Replaced back wishbone bushings E350 including fitting. Tahnks to you guys for most if not all of the info on these issues:D Teh car feels amazing but still needs more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Why do you want the TRAC to work? Its dangerous and close to useless on a J spec.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that,I thought the Stabiliser bar links would be the cause of squeaks from front but mine have been replaced and the funny squeak is still there,not too bad though,these problems seem to be hard to trace. Got mine back from a mate's garage and he said one of the lower control arm (wishbone) bushes needed replacing,so I'd get a decent mechanic just to inspect your whole front,wouldn't cost much:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
