Radiator prob and other questions.....
Man, I love this car! Ive only had her since Feb and put 14k on her, but I think Im in love. She runs so well, shifts out perfectly, keeps me icy cool, and gets (i believe) 34 MPG w/o the a/c running. This is my first Toyota after so many shitty domestics. Never have I had a car that ran so consistently good every single day. Best part is, she is paid for.... and so far, so EASY to work on!
However, the radiator has that famous crack in the top. So I ask, which rad do you guys like best for the camry? im guessing the solid alum one....
I am also getting just a slight bit of wobble at certain speeds, and my front end links are shot.... replacing those this weekend. My question is.... What is typical replacement intervals for the front end pieces such as tie rods, ball joints, etc? What about o2 sensors? Cuz obviously I want to replace parts before they wear out and give me any shit........
A list of what Ive done to my Camry since i got it in Feb:
New struts (monroe quickstruts)
New plugs, wires (NGK plugs, BWD prem wires)
New front brakes, new air filter (fram i think)
new drvr side cv axle
new drvr side control arm (uncle thought it was bad... it wasnt)
radiator/block flush
drain/refill differential
new trans filter/gasket/fluid.... then 3 drain/refills
(used valvoline maxlife blend, the red jug)
oil change every 3k, using valvoline maxlife (what do u recommend?)
I also ran a couple bottles of lucas injector cleaner thru it. So what else do ya think would improve this car? Any advice is appreciated............
