  1. Hi, I need one as well, have you find one at the reasonable price yet?
  2. I have 97 ES300, does anyone know how to get to the fuse box at drive side? I need to check if I have bad fuse at slot 40, Which is the one control the Clock and Cigarette lighter socket. Thanks Ricky
  3. you can try KYB, but the ride is a little bit stiff than the OEM, but only cost you around $57. http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/
  4. try http://www.tirerack.com, you may consider to replace the struct mount and struct together. KYB struct mount : $45 rear -$47 front KYB struct : $57 rear - $72 front the labor is around $150 at Firestone (Dallas Tx) for each side. Also, you might need to find out if your 96 model have a insulator which is the part sit between the struct 4" diameter plate and the coil spring, that one is about $20/piece at Toyota dealer. it should under $1k for four of them. good luck.
  5. I had 83K miles on my 97 ES300, beside the regular maintenance, everything work great, until recently may need a new struct mount. Anyway, first owner for this car and planning to keep it until it die on me....
  6. I'm thinking about replacing the "struct mount" to get rid of the clanking noise, but not sure if I need to replace the Struct itself as well, because the labor to replace one struct mount is $120 in Dallas area and then only cost extra $27.50 to get new struct in. (labor cost to get the coil out of the struct) So, the question is, with 83K miles on the 97 ES300, will it worth to replace the struct and the mount togather? I'm sure my struct is not bad yet, but just hate to see it wear out the next 5-10K miles, then it will cost $120 + $27.50 to replace it. Another question, will the new OEM struct make the ride like the new again. Thanks, Ricky
  7. Base on the attached figure, I think it is the pieces called "Spring Bumper". In order to lube it, it seems like the whole “Struct” need to be removed, however, I might be wrong.
  8. All, Does anyone done thier 90K services at Dallas, Plano area in Texas? wonder how much would it cost and what exactly the parts that they will replace, also which mechanic shop that you used. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks, Ricky
  9. does anybody know where is the "bump stop", because I have a same problem of my 97 ES300, wonder if something I can do myself. Thanks. :)
