If it always occurs when the engine is on at low rpm, then it could be a heat shield. I've had some heat shield mounting points on my Prius v and...
Got my new brace. Felt very light so I used my micrometer to measure the thickness. Appears to be about 16 gauge metal. Thin enough that I could...
Mendel!!! Why didn't you tell me earlier! I could have saved 75 bucks. Oh well. I'll remember them for next time :)
It's a bummer because I try to keep my cars for 10 years, but they seem to be rotting out earlier and earlier. Hopefully out '16 Sienna holds up....
We're on the same page Mendel. You're right it's not bolt on, though you can buy the parts for about $400, plus labor to weld it all up. Hence why...
It is pretty bad actually. I looked that part up but it's not worth replacing. It'll be cheaper to get pinch weld adapters for the floor jack.
Thanks. I may preemptively get fuel tank straps too. The bolt end on the right strap looked very rusted. I'll look again today before I order...
I've honestly thought about that. There really is not much to this brace with no real complicated bends. The problem is my inspection sticker...
Yup, I just failed inspection for this part. As I said to my wife, over $200 for a $5 piece of cheap steel. Was it definitely part #53605-47021?
I found the thread. I blasted the bolts with penetrating oil and then tested them after dinner. All 4 bolts broke loose real easy, so I'll just...
I live in upstate NY and bought car used from Vermont, so yes lots of road salt. I tried to car wash after snow, but looks like it didnt help in...
Dangit .... rust has taken out my passenger side brake cable, and now my rear cross brace, and my car is only 9 years old. I believe it's part...
I had that happen once. Moved the car from driveway to street, and then back sometime later, so the engine only ran for a few seconds each time....
I will add though that what's gotten on me for used up here is rust, with many parts replaced due to rust issues (parking brakes, brake backing...
