I slicked up the spindle with some white lithium grease. It was bone dry. Took 10 minutes. The clunking is gone. But the clunking in my back is just starting! Wonder if that will be temporary? Both.

Dealer says replace steering yoke. $1000.00 .You tube says use a little lithium grease on the spline. My 1999 camry is fine so why would a 9 year newer camry need a steering yoke?

Any ideas?

To make life easier. Youre very fortunate to have never had an issue. Wish I had been so lucky. I have never used a torque wrench on a wheel so couldnt tell you if Im over or under spec so how important can the spec be? 40 years and counting. Havnt lost a wheel yet.

Am I the only one who has never used a Torque wrench to install wheels? Ive used them on cylinder heads and such when I worked in the machine shop years ago but the tire iron has alway worked for me. Last few years all I use is the small wrench that comes in the trunk. I really liked the older...

I just did the same thing. First flush on 1999 camry which I had since new. The old fluid looked the same as the new stuff. Havnt had any unusual brake issues. How important could it be? Just about time for a new camry though. 315000 km. Getting a little rusty underneath but engine and ******...

Yes. I will continue to use the stuff. Makes my life easier. 3 years and counting. No lost wheels.

Thanks for all the input folks. Seems it's kind of a personal preference kind of thing.

Is it necessary to flush your hydraulic brake fluid occasionally? Does it go bad and cause caliper seals to fail?

Good idea?

Thankyou all you internet experts for all your excellent advice. What would I do without you??

Sitting in garage now. Nice and warm. Reading all your reviews . Very entertaining. Its minus 30 C outside. Love my warm garage.

Whats your point? Whats macho got to do with this. I ran an experiment to test my CO detectors. Oh and I am a mechanic too. Does that make a difference?:lol_hitti

Wow and all this time I thiught CO was odorless.

I placed 1 one the ground right under the exhaust. Was a 1999 camry.
