Search Results for ‘rust’

Good morning! Today, I looked under my car and saw a broken strap hanging from my exhaust. It seems to have rusted out. After pulling on it, I found it was loose and it slid right off. I'm sure I'm not calling this the right name for it to come up on the search results on the forum. What...

Once upon a time, years ago, some idiot decided to jack up the car at the wrong lift point (no comment, the idiot lifts by the correct lift points in the center of the car now). I have ignored the issue for years, but now there is a crack in the paint whereas it use to be just bubbling. Don't...

Hi all! Very new to this forum, looking into purchasing a RHD 95-96 RAV4. Found one for $9k at 71k miles imported from Japan. Minimal rust in the undercarriage and seems to be taken care of. May have been sitting at the dealer for 90+ days. I've attached images of the rust for reference. I will...

I just bought a rav4 today that I felt a clunk when going over bumps. I asked them what it was and they (hyundai dealership) definitively said it was the sway bar link on the right side. Since they gave me a good deal, I said I'd do the fixing myself. After further inspection, I found this cv...

I have a 2009 rav4 with 270,000 on the body. Got a quote to replace for 1600$ Is that a fair price? Also would be it be something I should worry about? That car has a newly rebuilt transmission, 2012 2.5l motor with 120,000 miles and transfer case from that same 2012 model. If it’s worth fixing...

Water leak due to run-off issue. Gutter and weep holes clogged with debris missing guides. At the dealer they neglected to replace nylon retainers (like rivets) securing a replacement cowl cover shield (under wiper arms and under hood) leaving a gap in water guide -along bottom, edges of...

Recently traded my dying 20 year old Accord in for a 2018 Rav4 XLE with 22,000 miles. It was raining when I was at the dealership so I missed some of the rust underneath. Was in the process of spraying Amsoil MPHD corrosion prevention on the under side when I noticed the extent of the rust...

Hello, I have 2019 Rav4 Hybrid Limited. I understand that Toyota offers perforation warranty for 5 years. But it does not include the general rust protection. Being based in Quebec, my car would be exposed to lot of snow and salt on roads. So i am thinking to get the rust proofing done. Any...

Looking a replacing some rusty parts on my 1999 4.1, both front lower suspension arms and the front sub frame. I was wondering if any one knew if theses parts would fit from a 4.2 as i can not find these 4.1 parts near me.
