But Toyota's never go wrong
 Their owners say so 
Good luck - hope it's a simple fix  |

The car in front is a broken
Hopefully it will be a straight forward fixed, owned an 08 Hilux, Toyota's usually bulletproof and repairs don't cost a gazillion pounds at the dealers, like Land Rover
Hopefully bolt lost.

A few weeks ago I would have agreed but we seem to be having a run of bad luck with our two Rav's! |

Looks a bit like some bolts / nuts gave came loose, bracket following suit.
Maybe incorrect torque used, no thread loc or nylon nuts. Or done thing similar. Dampers / shockers always take a pounding. |

In general (and I am preparing my flame suit) the ladies are not as observant when it comes to cars and noises and things.
My mum drove about in her Range Rover Sport and said it felt funny. She didn't bother to check or notice she had a flat tyre and she drove it so hard for so long the tyre almost shredded. My missus said her car made a funny noise too. I'm not surprised, the NSF brake caliper was seized on! Plus half her wheelarch liner was snapped, hanging off and rattling about under the car....Women.  2016 D4 HSE

I completely agree! The conversation last night when I got back was "it's been making a banging noise on bumpy ground for a while". Of course that followed with "I did tell you!". That last part is the real problem, I don't listen!! Sometimes I hear noise but I couldn't recount to you what was said  |

Had a look this morning and it looks like its got 4 bolt holes. Thankfully no sign of any failed welding! Now all I've got to do is wait in all morning for the recovery truck!! Car's....nothing but a major PITA! |

Car now back at the main stealer.
They state that the rear shock mounting has sheared off which in turn has seized the wheel bearing???? Cost to fix.........£961.74 
Oh and its not covered by the 5 year manufacturers warranty. I feel a fight coming on!  Last edited by Barney12 on 8th Dec 2015 6:42pm. Edited 1 time in total |

So Toyota are saying that a part of the car has failed prematurely casuing other damage but it isn't covered by warranty?
Enjoy the fight to the death I'd say!!!!! Good luck and keep us informed please |

How do they figure the damper mount shearing off has an adverse effect on the wheel bearings? Fishing, that's what that is. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

This is why I hate cars and main stealers. It's just every opportunity to make money from the unwitting public. With a multimillion (billion) pound car marque above the door they seem to think they can get away with anything.
My mum has driven a Toyota for years, she has a new one every 4-5 years, now if this had happened to her would she have simply gone "oh OK dear, here's some more of my money"? Yes, of course she would and I expect that's true of a large number of people! Makes me bloody mad!  |
