hey all, i have a 2015 rav 4 xle and i want to upgrade the brakes. the origianals were tbh fine. I heard the LE had the small brakes that suck but the XLE got the bigger ones. Truth be told I could just go with the normal XLE brakes as they were fine. I am due for a change but I thought why not...

For my 2015 Toyota Rav 4!

hey all i know there is tons of talk about the fram metal canned filters due to the leaf spring issue however on one of my vehicles i have a cartridge filter and have usually used fram endurance as it seems to look great on paper and its easy to find for a good price is this still one of the...

nice!! for comparison, here are my ngk iridiums out of a non muzzed honda j35 with 125k miles

I have an update: I didn’t mean to jump the gun in the morning however when I drove the vehicle this evening I never heard a squeak or squeal Or creak at all The temperature in the morning was not cold it was probably 45 Fahrenheit. Which should definitely be fine. However the evening it was...

hmm i finalized the tightening when the wheels were on the ground if that is the same thing

thank you, i did some more digging and seems like its supposed to be at 44 lb foot according to service manual however kyb seems to show 22. i dont know who to believe. i did use the honda oem nut i think so i assume i should follow that?

truth be told, top mount nut was tightened by hand with a normal 6 inch ratchet. i did some digging and seems like the torque for top nut is about 22 foot lbs which seems low to me but i guess its fine. i prob tightened it to 30 ish with my hand. there is 3 nuts where the strut mount connects to...

my apologies if im mistaken but the new mount and bearing dont really seem injectable. this is a pic of the acura mount and the acura bearing just looks like a circular piece of metal. these are the new acura parts i got and installed but i wonder if its somewhere on the top of the kyb strut?

thank you very much, i had it pretty tight from before. i beleive for my vehicle its only about 22 foot lbs which seems easy to reach but will def check for play

i hope its that, i guess should have used my torque wrench in the first place

thank you for the reply, oddly it sounds like its coming creaking from both sides, but then again its harder to isolate since both wheels turn no matter which side the steering wheel is moving. what also is odd is i got brand new bearings and mount and my old ones were sounding fine when they...

sadly all thrown out :( , the car drives well and i wonder if it will dissapear but still odd for it to show 3 - 4 days later

hey all i have a 14 acura rdx and a few days ago i replaced my front struts. i got the kyb front struts for my vehicle and i reused the coil. i had purchased new hardware such as mount and bearing from the honda dealer. I installed everything and the car drove fine and was good for the past few...

ahh yes i saw that too, maybe its because some of the oem nuts are locking nuts and shouldnt be reused? and the only way to see if a consumer will follow the instructions is to make it seems worse if they dont? maybe an expert here can chime in

awesome thanks! i was more worried about not using the collar thing cuz oem didn't have that but i assume should be fine, whatever that thing does

Hey all, I did my rear shocks on my 14 acura rdx the other day and once I got deep into the job, i realized the KYB shocks were missing the pack of small parts such as washers, rubber bushings, and the metal collar, Of course the cover and the bump stop still came with the shock. I was already...
