I knew there was something different about my car, (apart from the steering wheel on the right) my supra doesn’t have CV joints on the front wheels, its rear wheel drive. Must be a limited addition Supra ?


Constant Velocity Joints

CV joints allow a rotating shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play. They are mainly used on front wheel drive vehicles.

No iwas just being retarded they are called half shaft cv's or something to that affect. Sorry for the incorrect nameing but thepoint still stands

Somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one with that problem. I will be changing to a TEIN Flex coilover set-up next week and plan on looking into that noise while I'm at it. I'll let you all know what I find...if anything.

Does anybody have experience discontinuing the use of the TEMS? If so, any hints? Did you just disconect at the shocks, secure and leave all wiring in place?

i dont think your gonna have any problems if you leave the wires there
theyre arent gonna do anything anyways
right?

Popping Sound
 

Are you guys positive it ain't a bushing? cuz that would be my first guess. Those things wear out and you get metal on metal. my 2 cents.

Scruff

Well......I dunno
 

I have the SAME THING...wow...how common. I was told by a retired mechanic, who worked for Toyota for 30 years, that it could be both, however after this many years, and the fact that I have to turn ALL the way to one side for it to happen, that it is more than likely a bushing. A wearing out CV would make it harder to steer...you would notice it in the assisted steering.

I have not gotten mine checked out yet, but I will soon.

it's not a cv joint

Well uh geez thanx for telling us that.... Would his highness like to tell us what he thinks it is. Oh and I believe i stated before I messed up by saying CV joint i meant to say CV half shaft. So we know its not a CV joint. but thanks for the input.

Well.....
 

I was just saying CV joint for a general term.

You mean all Supras have rear wheel drive and mine isn’t special ! Shucks ( as they say over here) have I spelt that right by the way?
