Any issue about changing from single cell radiator to double cell? The car has no issue, the AC is okay but the radiator needs to be changed due to leakage. My mechanic advise me to buy double cell radiator instead of single cell that it's good. I want to know the implications. Thanks |

SpeedRacer: Did you run an Alignment and Wheel Balancing after the repairs? Take the vehicle to a professional Alignment shop like Bomaco where they have car lifts to do alignment and wheel balancing. Added bonus if you have wheel issues its very likely to be spotted. If the vehicle is an old fashioned power steering pump that has a can for steering oil, you should drive around a bit with your cap of the power steering oil can open to ensure the system is bled properly |

Good day house. I have an issue with my Camry '05. Sorry i need to start from the scratch; I feel vibration on the steering wheel and brake pedal when braking and then i changed the brake disc and brake pads then it went away. Only fof me to now feel vibration at initial acceleration now... like when I'm just beginning to accelerate, the car kinda gives vibration, i can feel it's like coming from the front wheel. I've done alignment and wheel balancing but it still persists. Funny thing is it doesn't happen all the time but like 90% when i accelerate and there's a non-smooth feel when i brake from high speed as well, atimes. It just kinda feels unsmooth. |

hollas2jnr: Likely CV joints. But this is one of the most delicate jobs in Camry. Your gear is 13pin so meet a specialist that will check and probably replace the CV joints/CUP. Buy a new CV joint and not a toks because most of the toks are contaminated and may kill your gear. Dont top your gear with any kind oil except original Type t-iv. you can also scan and share codes Note: The gear box is over 450-500k. So be very very very careful. 2 Likes |

Dozieson: Thanks for your response boss. I have replaced the complete shaft (excluding the cup) though. It only got fair but issue still persists. I have scanned but no codes. Thanks for the headups about the gear. |

dubsy20:Toyotas are notorious for showing several lights that might be unrelated on the dash for power train related codes. Address those codes and your slip light, VSC, check light and other Christmas lights should go off. |

Good day gurus. I took my lexus es350 for paint job and small exhaust leakage work. I was with him the day he worked on the exhaust but the day he did the painting I wasn't there. Only for me to take my car back, drove for some miles and error popped out of the cluster display. I scanned and it's saying P0420 catalytic converter system, bank 1 inefficiency below threshold. He swore he didn't take my catalyst when I asked him so he opened the exhaust gasket which houses the catalyst under the car and the it's intact. So I don't know why the car is still throwing up that code after clearing and driving for some miles
