    deep noise when turning front wheels

    I am not an expert but don't think brakes. It still sounds like something to do with steering to me. Have someone turn the wheels (when stopped) and that way you can try to locate where the noise is coming from under the hood. At least that can help pin point where it is coming from.

    deep noise when turning front wheels

    Ok, all electric. Could the same issue still persist? Could it be the electric motor giving out? has there been any change in steering feel?

    S Plus Uncomfortable Seat

    A coupe has back seats in it as well. But I don't find an issue with the comfort of my 2013 s. I do wish the adjustment for and aft was more like .5 inch of different. On one setting I'm just a tad to close and my legs are cramped and on the other it is just a tad to far and I am stretching my...

    ?? Prius prime driving lights and fogs fit 17 xse ??

    Don't look like a fit to me. Even in the pics I can see the shape is not quite the same. A good measurement will tell but I would say the Prius Prime ones are larger as well.

    deep noise when turning front wheels

    Need a bit more info. Just based on your post I would check power steering fluid. I know the 2013 has electric assist but there has got to be a reservoir of fluid somewhere, mind you I have never looked for it in my car.

    My 2012 Corolla manual now has 150,000 kilometers. What to look for now?

    If nothing is broke then there is no need to fix The manual will tell you what you should check/change. I'm about 10 grand away from 100000kms on my 2013 standard and I have done nothing but change the oil. Going on 5 years and not even the brakes need to be done. I 'm sure those will be the...

    Rear brake rotors upgrade

    What year Corolla you drive? If it is the 2014 and up model you can find a Corolla S (SE as they are now called) with the upgrade package and use the rear disks from that one. Either way I would be sure to get the ABS sensors and E brake cable off the donor car as well and should be plug and play.

    Subwoofer options?

    Why not use one the spaces right behind the lights? It would seem to be a perfect place to put a sub and not take that much space. Only thing I can think of is to build the box so it can be easily moved so you can access the lights to change the bulbs, but other than that it would be a natural...

    synthetic engine oil

    Out of curiosity what is not true? If your vehicle specifies from the factory to use Synthetic it is not wise to use conventional. If there are no issues with what one is using why switch to high mileage? It usually cost more, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    86 Chevy Nova in ohio

    well, lets see two door on a 4 door. I would say maybe the front end but that is all, after all there is a difference of two doors. Mechanicals would work easier. The one you have there is the 5 hatchback style which was a mildly restyled Toyota Sprinter from Japan. It may be hard to find but if...

    How often should we clean fuel injectors?

    Depends on where you're at. Fuel is different around the world. Some places will have dirtier fuel than others. I don't know for sure where the dirtiest fuel is, but I grew up in Venezuela in South America and I am certain the fuel there is dirtier than the fuel that I now have available in...

    Question about 07 vs 09 Corolla

    The 09 was the first year of the new model and had recalls. I think accelerator pedal, floor mats (that whole think about getting stuck and making the car accelerate) and others I think. If you consider the 09 I would make sure all the recalls have been done on it. While the 07 was the last year...

    2015 Toyota Corolla Headlight

    low beam or high beam? low beam on 2015 is LED high beam is a regular halogen bulb. High beam would be easy to replace if it is the low LED light well, I think you got to buy the whole thing.

    Dome Light so cold

    LOL, I don't mean this to be a negative but I find fishycomics has unique way of communicating things. I find if I read the post a couple times it helps to get the understanding. :-)

    synthetic engine oil

    I would stick to what you have been using. There is no issue with switching from conventional to synthetic, but you DO NOT want to got form synthetic to conventional. I am at nearly 90 thousand Kms right now and I have been using Mobil 1 advanced (I believe). I don't see myself changing to high...

    Swap 2010 Corolla S "Toyota" logo emblem badge

    Measure the size to find out. I know the front emblem pops off really easy. it has tabs behind it that hold in place and I don't know if the Lexus logo have the same to mount it. That being said, why? your not going to fool anyone and get them to thing you drive a Lexus

    How do I install new headlight bulb?

    The dealer will likely charge you. I just changed my bulbs on my 2013, took about 5 minutes. very easy. your manual will show you. All you have to do is twist the base pull it out, remove bulb, insert new bulb and reverse the procedure. DO NOT touch the bulbs with bare hands. The oil from you...
