Cut the stock springs. Far less expensive and superior results.

If I may ask, why use a cheap transmission fluid and then add in a pour in transmission fluid additive, which increases the cost of the whole operation? Why not just use a good transmission fluid from the get go and no pour in additives instead? Below is an article with test results...

My pleasure. Sorry the news wasn't better.

Does the noise go away after the engine is thoroughly warmed up? Are you using a good performing synthetic oil in the bitter cold of Alaska?

If you have a 2004+ Toyota with the Toyota WS fluid, the proper procedure for changing the transmission fluid is outlined below - http://www.amsoil.com//techservicesbulletin/Drivetrain/TSB%20DT-2009-10-01%20Toyota%20Transmission%20Fill%20System.pdf Alternatively, if your vehicle doesn't...

Joebkylyn - I know of no other synthetic automatic transmission fluid than AMSOIL synthetic ATF that is rated for Toyota Type-IV. Mobil doesn't offer a synthetic ATF that is rated Toyota Type-IV. Even if they did, by comparing the data from the product data bulletins we can see that AMSOIL...

J.C. Whitney is notorious for selling cheap, made in China parts. Beware.

The engine should be fine.

Diagnose, don't replace costly parts that don't need replacing. That gets very expensive and the discount auto parts stores just love it, of course. Diagnose, diagnose, diagnose.

The difference in sizes are substantial and even if the P205/75R-14 size would fit, (doubtful), the speedometer will be reading inaccurately, fuel economy will drop, handling will be reduced, (more body roll in turns), and the ABS braking system can also be adversely affected...

3.5 - 4.5 quarts is not an entire drain and fill, but merely replacing what is the pan and that doesn't include the torque converter.

Welcome aboard! :) Any questions you have, feel free to post.

Thicker is not always better, just like more is not always better, or bigger is always better, etc. Today's modern engines are manufactured to tighter clearances than engines of yesteryear for better emissions control and improved fuel economy. Using a thicker viscosity oil than is...

Winter is almost upon us. Your Corolla is running out of time. :confused:

If you just bought the car, take it back to where you bought it and demand they fix it. That's your right as a consumer.

"Good but cheap"? Something for nothing? They will make you car ride like a buckboard wagon.

It's not supposed to pass inspection without the daytime running lights functioning.

Incorrect. The bounce test requires getting the struts/shocks cycling up and down then not bouncing more than three times. -- Monroe Certified Ride Expert

Wheel spacers can be very dangerous, increasing loads on the studs, which can cause them to snap. The result is a wheel flying off, which can really ruin someone's day.

Then the struts are absolutely fine, as long as they aren't leaking, which I think you said they weren't. Might want to ask the manager of that store why the struts replacement was recommended by them and see what you get for an answer! :D Fraudulent recommendations for auto repair violate...
