Where do I start?

[mandyfig]

I have done the following and I need some suggestions on stuff I can start working on to bring my 95 Camry (@99K miles)up to snuff:

1. Replaced both TransaAxles.
2. Replaced Valve Cover Gasket.
3. Replaced Distributor O-Ring.
3. Replaced Plugs and PCV Valve.
4. Cleaned Distributor.
5. Replaced Running Engine Mount.
6. Replaced Antenna Mast.
7. Flushed Transmission.
8. Oil and Filter Change.
9. Rear Brake service, adjusted hand brake.


Need:
1. CD Player, I got a CD receiver from Crutchfield.
2. New Wheels, 16" preferred.

Any suggestions, welcome.

I can not wait on my next task.

Thanks.

You can come over and work on mine ;-) Please?

How about changing the transaxle fluid, the coolant, and what about the timing belt and tensioner spring.

On the rear stabilizer bar there are two ($$ cheap) rubber bushings that can be changed easily and quiets the suspension noises.

Transaxle fluid's done. The coolant is next. Timing belt was done by the prior owner. What is the Tensioner spring?

Tell me about the rubber bushings in the back.

Also, where can we get a Service Manual CD for 95 Camry? Ebay has them for $28.

Thanks.

Change the tensioner spring with the next timing belt. It sets the proper timing belt tension before the tensioner pulley is tightened.

The bushings are easy to change, the stabilizer bar runs wheel to wheel, ahead of the wheel, and the holes in the two rubber bushing that bolt it to the body elongate over time. The bar then rattles when you go over bumps. They are cheap and easy to change and makes the rear end quieter.

No info on the manual, sorry.

damn man come on down to my house, my Cam could use a good service. (I would rather not get rapped by the dealer)

[mandyfig]

Oppss, forgot to mentioned that for the repair stuff, I had a friend mechanic do it, of course for a reasonable price, not near rape charges, ex-Toyota service Tech. Life is good.

I need a CD Manual to work on them myself.

eBay is the only place I've seen them. Otherwise theres Haynes, Chiltons, and factory (Toyota) repair manuals.

You can buy a Haynes or Chiltons manual from a autoparts store for $15 - $20. Their okay, but I find that they leave out stuff and don't have enough info.

Factory (Toyota) manuals are the shit, but their expensive. A complete set goes for around $100 on eBay.

If you can't find what you need on eBay, try contacting a seller named carmanualguy. He sells Toyota factory repair manuals all the time.


You can also order them directly from Toyota.

That manual is for a 95 Camry? I don't want to download and figure it was for the wrong car.

i like the way IS300 wheels look. u can get a set for a reasonable price off of ebay.

it seems like ur keeping up with your car good enough so no need to comment there.

[mandyfig]

IS300 looks good. How much will I get them for? Thanks. They are 15"s right?

[95camguy]

they are 17s i believe. ive seen them on ebay from 400-600. but then you also gotta get tires. i would love a set of the IS wheels but i been busy doing brakes, a timing belt, and 9005 headlight conversions. maybe in the spring after i get my income tax check back!!!

Looks like a really good list, that's a very comprehensive set of stuff- but why the axleshafts at only 99k?

Other than the RSB bushings someone else mentioned (if they're not bad yet, trust me you'll know when they go ), just keep up on the maintenance and the car will last a long time. My '95 has 161k on it now- and still runs the stock clutch

Avalons work, too. They are 16"s.
