Finally - Toyota Crown, 2.5 liter, 1995
Hurrah! Documents restored, numbers received and now you can start bringing the car to mind! I was looking for rear springs for a long time, and then I decided to find silent blocks and bushings for the front, I go to the store and then the seller says — "there are no rubber bands, but springs are not needed?". I'm in a hurry! Of course I say we need it! The next day, he took the money and bought … new … black … huge … such only on 141 and 131 bodies, just like me and Michael Jackson (God rest in peace). Well, I decided to change the springs once — it means to set the camber, I will change the steering tips at the same time, I have them from the second day of purchase in the trunk. I thought I’d change it with silent blocks on the front end, but I didn’t wait for something ... they’ll go for another two weeks (((I took time off from work early, I think I need to find a place where prices don’t bite, but near the office of a service station very famous in the city, I stopped by, the price tag suited me, more expensive than in the most inexpensive place, but you won’t have to cut there through the whole city. I prepared the money, the mechanic says — “It’s half a day’s workâ€, it turned out that everything is very simple, the old springs fell out as soon as the shock absorber was unscrewed, they turned out to be almost 10 centimeters shorter than the new ones, and they sank very much. They changed it in 40 minutes, the mechanic is a sensible man, he rides Soarer himself, we talked with him about rear-wheel drive.
I was going to change the trapezoid with a friend, but he never called, he arrived at another station, having previously swept on new springs ... the car became much higher. The steering tips changed much longer, it was not possible to unscrew everything and not immediately. But in the end, an hour and a half of torment and collapse on both axes exhibited.
Driving comfort has changed! The pleasure is enormous!
