Wowzer! Great content as usual! My wife’s 2007 RAV4 has the steering clunk and it has had me baffled for years. It isn’t bad, but it’s there and I have always hoped that the steering wouldn’t fail and cause a wreck. Glad to know it’s an easy fix and I can’t wait to see the fix. This is literally the best automotive channel on YT and this comes from an engineer! Thanks!

[@Oo-IIII-oO]

Common issue..You need the intermediate shaft replaced. It's like $300 ish part last time I did one. Not super easy to do either.. He mentioned in the video that on this Corolla does not have that problem.. Hope this helps

[@mamsfacturacion4156]

IN URGENT NEED OF THAT VIDEO

[@juliusmiranda123]

I was a Toyota technician before and as AMD mentioned this would be an easy fix. There's no need to replace steering intermediate shaft. The grease usually dries out over time causing the popping noise when turning. All you need to do is to remove the bolt then slide the shaft back and forth for several times so the grease inside would spread out. Just make sure to put a line marking on the intermediate shaft and rack & pinion shaft so that steering won't be off center when you put it back on.

[@Resolute900]

This man deserves an accolade. Each video of his shows his skill, knowledge and experience...and years of it. Thank you, in advance, for all your advice.

[@deliveryguyrx]

And let's not forget HONESTY. A lot of service centers would charge you for a rack and pinion even if it was just a matter of adjusting the steering shaft.

[@TurboModifiedS4]

Previous Toyota engine builder at TMMK here. I was working there when we were building these 2AZ-FE engines and these are great engines with a few caveats. Firstly, anything before 2007 has head bolt issues that are very well known in older Camry's. Post 2007, Toyota updated these engines with the updated short blocks that fixed the head bolt issues but then they also introduced the low-tension piston rings that cause oil consumption which is what is mentioned in this video. However in mid-late 2010, these engines were updated again and had the updated pistons and piston rings installed from the factory. There weren't many cars left in the North American market that still used the 2AZ by then as the 2AR had succeeded it but the Canadian model Corolla XRS, the Matrix, and the Scion XB still used the 2.4. Therefore any 2011+ models of these cars shouldn't burn oil like the older cars did. The Corolla in this video shows that as those spark plugs don't show any signs of oil consumption. I'm interested to see what happens with the car in the video if the pistons and rings are changed in it regardless.

[@e.r.videography6209]

You make a valid point. Perhaps the owner was using synthetic oil and had excessively long intervals?

[@lehlohonoloramahlele1409]

Llllllllllllllllll

[@jamesmedina2062]

So you are saying it is not needing any refreshes?

[@tonyed2723]

@@e.r.videography6209 Synthetic oil wouldn't cause excessive oil consumption. As long as it's the factory recommended 0W-20 or 5W-20, there should be no issues running synthetic oil. However, it may be possible that the previous and/or current owners had excessively long oil change intervals that could have caused oil consumption later in its life. I always recommend 5,000 mile/8,000 kilometer oil change intervals, nothing longer.

[@tonyed2723]

@@jamesmedina2062 From what I've seen in the video, it's a post-2011 built 2AZ-FE engine which would have the updated piston rings installed from the factory. Looking at the original spark plugs that are shown in the video, there are no obvious signs of excessive oil consumption either. Nor is there really a mention by the guy stating the customer complains of excessive oil consumption. That's not to say it may be burning oil due to neglect by previous owners of the car but from a statistics standpoint, I don't see a reason to do an engine refresh on this car.

I brought my 2020 Camry SE to the dealer for warranty work, they updated a module for a dead battery I had. It was close to the 20,000 mile oil change so they changed the oil and did other maintenance. The 10,000 mile oil change they overfilled the oil so I told the service manager to tell whoever does the oil change to not over fill the oil. In fact I told her to tell them to put in 4 and a half quarts and if it was a little low I would add some. She later told me she had done so. Low and behold, when I got home I waited 20 minutes and checked the oil level and it was almost a half inch high above the full mark. I called the service manager in charge and he apologized and said he was going to personally check the calibrations on their oil dispenser. In the meantime I pulled the oil pan plug and let some oil out and it is just a smidgen above the full mark. I did not bring it back as it is a 190 round trip to the dealer. It pays to check your oil and do your own maintenance if you can.

Once again, great informative video. How funny but my 13 highlander started making some humming noise. Looked at the tires and one had exactly what you were describing. Smooth going one way and bumpy the other way. I also thought I had a bad bearing or strut. got the car aligned too. Eventually I just replaced my tires. It took about 50k miles on the tire for that to happen. So not bad. Love your channel. Keep it up.

[@jamesmedina2062]

It's called cupping. Most if not all alignment shops will not help in any way with this because they excel in mediocrity. I think either the toe is not straight enough or the suspension articulation introduces toe changes while the car is on the road and responds dynamically to the road when in motion. If the shop would check the alignment with extra load inside the car it could easily be measured and if needed, and I am not sure it will fix it but it is worth it to try as tires these days approach 200 each. After a few years you could see 2000 dollars in suffering! Cheers

I owned a 2009 Matrix XRS with this engine ,89k on clock when purchased. . It Was a very practical, comfortable and FUN car to drive, Friends have 2005-2006 Camrys with this engine. I knew of it's reputation for NOT using oil, and oh boy with the 5 speed automatic a gem. Once on Highway 50 in Nevada I saw 125 on the speedo, and still had more to go. This was a Cold Rod if ever there was one! The XRS is THE Keeper: and at 71, last car I will ever need to buy... Then: I watch: "Toyotas to Avoid" ): and found out I was not the only one with the nagging oil consumption issue. RECALL on a TOYOTA ENGINE? The same engine my friends have that NEVER burn oil? WTF! Was I Butt Hurt? The CCN slam dunked my dream ride! No matter, I owned the Matrix for a total of 13 months, adding oil as I went, enjoying the MPG, versatility...Performance in mountain driving.....auto lust satisfied. So, come one fine Spring evening, the fuse box erupted in flames destroying the entire electrical system and my Matrix was a Total. Turns out this issue is "not uncommon", but not enough for a recall. Moral of Story: IF the oil consumption don't get ya the fuse box will. Lesson #2: I the CCN says, avoid a Toyota, Avoid it!

The part shown at 11: 48 in this video you even point to, is where another donut shaped seal is located, called in Spanish " bajante"? I am trying to find the source of this annoying noise and I believe a parts advisor at the dealer said no matter I paid to a muffler shop to replace a similar part located nearly at the muffler pipe, like they indicated, in order to eliminate that noise which also occurs somtimes when hitting speed bumps. The.noise renains but the donut shaped seal located where you point at 11: 48 remains, as well as code P 0441, after replacing what Scotty Kilmer calls " all the (related) rubber " of an old 2005 Corolla owned since new in Dec. 2004. All EVAP hoses surrounding the EVAP service port, not the port, the M.A.F. Sensor, Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Valve, PCV Valve hose, the cracked Canister for a new Toyota Canister, all parts are o.e.m. Toyota. The fuel cap was replaced twice with the o.e.m. Toyota. The car accelerates more smoothly nearly like new. My driving at UberEats has to be conservative to save fuel. Last 31 days was more than $362 in regular Top Tier 87 octane gasoline . The trusted independent mechanic who installed the canister didn't comment about dirty harness contact of the canister. But, a second trusted independent mechanic and his Son, found the code P0441 but their Autel Scanner was showing more informarion than my Xtool D8; it said the P0441 could also be fuel related and they directed me to hear a hissing sound coming from a hose which has the w oí rd fuel printed located to the left and behind the EVAP hoses id the EVAP service port of green color; the hose touches the right side of the valve cover I think. They identufied the hissing noise as coming from this hose which was found semi loose, they re tighted it and the noise disappeared but the code P0441 returned. I am thinking it might need to be replaced, the dealer said is $106. It is alo a rubber hose, an 18 years old rubber oem Toyota hose next Dec.23 2022.

Had this in a Pontiac Vibe GT (the step brother to the Matrix), had the same issue with consuming oil. Wish I still had the car, but the level of oil consumption was extremely worrying. Quotes to get the work done sadly put it out of the realm of getting repaired....

I feel your pain. I have owned a base Vibe with the ordinary 1.8 engine for 17 years. Many times I considered upgrading to a model with the 2.4. Only in the last couple of years did I learn what a disappointment it would have been.

@@rightlanehog3151 nice, what year is your Vibe? In that case, smaller is better for Vibe Matrix & Corolla engines. How many miles are on yours

@@Blakecryderman7244 I have the 1.8 litre engines in 2005 matrix along with 2020 corolla LE, they both great engines. The 2005 one has over 200k miles and barely burns any oil.

Thank you AMD for another awesome video. I am a 2003 Toyota Camry with the 2AZFE engine as well with similar issue with oil consumption.

Great video

Have you completed watching it? Haha

[@Javert-q8m]

Can wait to see the next episode. Hopefully your customer will go further with the repair, I have the same car from 2012, but with 1.6 engine and manual transmission.
