Planned repair of the hodovka. — Toyota Altezza, 2.0 liter, 1999

A year has passed since the purchase of my yellow and black princess.
It taps a little there, rattles here, and all this does not have the best effect on the nature of driving and simply on the driving performance of the car. The sports suspension and everything about aggressive driving will remain in the plans until the new summer season. My car, as in the summer for everyday driving, so comfort when driving in winter is important to me.
I had to climb a little on the Internet and decide on high-quality and not very expensive spare parts for my beauty.

1. Replacement of steering rods and tips on the right and left side of the axle.
Producer Korean company CRT is a order of magnitude cheaper than the original art. 48660-53010 , not nearly worse in quality. www.ctr-russia.ru/ctr/
Price: 3800 rubles.

2. Silentblocks of the suspension arm of the front right and left. In the original, you can only purchase the lever 48660-53010 for 6500 rubles. Therefore, it is better to buy silent blocks and press them into the old lever if it is in good condition.
Price: 1000 rubles.

3. Wheel bearing left and right rear axle. A necessary and indispensable item.
Manufacturer Japanese company KOYO. Toyota does not manufacture bearings, it orders them from KOYO, so do not chase the original, they will only be more expensive for resale. www.podshipnik.ru/manufa…/foreign/element_313.html
Price: 3800 rubles.

4 Front and rear shock absorbers.
Manufacturer KYB NEW SR special www.autovladzip.ru/index...l&catid=1:new-sr&Itemid=2

The choice fell on these shock absorbers because of their inexpensive price and good reviews. I did not find them in the European part of Russia, but in Vladivostok I found a store where they kindly sold them to me and sent them to St. Petersburg. Store address, who is interested www.autovladzip.ru/
Price: 11000 rubles. per set.

Also the drive belt began to whistle. Therefore, I bought it and a tension roller for it.
Roller 3500 + belt 700 rub.

I purchased inserts for the shock absorber struts, which should increase the clearance by 2 cm.
Price: 1100 rubles. I bought them polimer-nsk.ru/ All this, of course, for the winter, only for painless driving)

I hope I helped someone with my observations and advice. As the saying goes: "If you like to ride, love and ride, but don't forget to repair")))

On the weekend I will go to establish the whole thing ...
Postoperative symptoms and general condition in the next journal entry ...
