They do! I had a fairly big hammer. It fixed the issue.

Sorry, I just saw this.....I would definitely say that a CV axle would get worse over the 2 year period you described. Did you find the culprit? Possibly strut bearing?

Thanks again guys. I'll keep you posted. I laughed when I read about the generations....basically the same truck for quite a while. I loved my Ranger(s). This is close to them without the $$ of the new ones. Ryan

That's great! Thanks a ton guys. The pricing seems good. Time will tell! I sure miss having a truck. I loved the Rangers I had, this is as close as I could find to a newer Ranger in my price range.

Hi guys! Wondering if anyone has experience with the Nissan Frontier in 4 cyl base trim? I'm looking for a cheap truck for my business, and there is a nice deal on one Ive had my eyes on. Its got just over 60k miles, 4cyl RWD. I know theyre outdated.....I care about safety and reliability...

Yeah, it just stunk! as a follow up - if any of you have an issue with reocurring heater circuit codes....check your 20amp O2 sensor/heater fuse. Mine must have tripped after the first install. I'm fine with having done both sensors, but could have been happy waiting. Problem fixed with a $1...

Thanks thastinger, I didnt dissconnect it, but I did reset the codes twice with an almost instant reappearance. It might be worth disconnecting the battery and seeing if the car sorts it out. Wishing I didnt soak the cat with WD40 fighting with the sensor 🤣

Hi guys, The Sube has been throwing an 0137 code, bank 1 sensor 2 code. I changed the downstream sensor and it immediately showed a code for the upstream sensor. Odd. The car only has 70k miles, wondering if I toasted them both doing a seafoam cleaning. Im hoping its not the CAT, but no...

Wowza. 0w8 must be thin coming out of the bottle. I would probably just use 0w16 for both with an eye on fuel economy. If youre racking up miles on the Corolla Id use the 0w16 most likely. I can believe were looking at 0w20 like its 10w40. Times are changing

Also!! Rock Auto is your friend.

The thing to remember, is that EVEN if....these were major issues that on a Yaris parts and procedures wont be terrible. And the bones are most definitely there. I would bleed the clutch and change the fluid, new battery, brake shoes and grab your multimeter. I think itll be a great car when...

Hi guys, so it WAS the axle. New axle is in and installed. It was a new aftermarket unit. It was a good brand....the name slips my mind. My question, is it ok that the new axle is roughly 3mm thicker than the OEM axle? Its a beast! I cant imagine as long as the CV is still the same size...

I agree with marc1 I made the mistake of swapping a belt on our Subaru with a new belt......but a worn tensioner aparently. It didnt last long without squeeling again, so I did both at the same time, second time around. Both continental with good results

Wowza! I will NOT mess with you

Thanks for the reply, Ahhh, well thats good, because thats where it went! It is strange that a rubber pin came out....very odd
