Just spotted this... not been on as much as I hope to due to commitments.. so sorry for not being here to help  

Glad you got egr sorted... not blanked mine off yet as not needed to mess with it since head change...  :


I have a pair of sads waiting for dryer weather to fit... noise is driving me mad, but fortunately only noisy when ticking over... at moment.

Were did you get your sad,s from. I think the ones I bought last year were poor quality

[Kernowman]

ebay as normal..   you need to make sure the aux shaft is lined up correctly or the extra stress will make them fail earlier.
Normally around 2+ years is what i have had per set.

gonna use jap auto parts this time. last ones came from the estima club or something like that lasted 6 months. dont think there still on ebay then again could just trade under a different name.
jap autos are doing toyota ones for £125. missed it last year they had them on a half price sale as usual i didnt have a pot to p in at the time.

These are the ones I bought from this time as autojap have hiked the price and bellocat have too.

auxillary shaft couplings estima 91-99

Exactly same as other sellers for quality and bolts.. use the self locking nyloc nuts.
So should last another 2+ years, fingers crossed.

found the same company selling these blue print ones £75 with 3 years warranty must be good half the price of toyota's own

[Kernowman]

Same seller and same picture on listing as the ones I bought
Part numbers look different, but will be difficult to tell if same parts or not without having a set of each listing side by side.
But the 3 year guarantee sounds good

ok sads still rattle and i think it was down to human error.
I see from  tutorial that you had to mark the sads up with the aux shaft or something, i didn,t.
i noticed from memory there is a small like metal plate half way down on the prop shaft, is this a marking or how would i know were to line up so its balanced.
i,m due to buy another coupling but don,t won,t it to wear out quickly again. happy days again lol

OK when the SADS go, what sort of noise will i be hearing. If i got to get under the Mystery Machine to do a couple of things i may as well look at doing these as well!

[jon27267]

knocking noise from front of car, if you let it tick over, then switch on lights and heater, should notice it more, then switch off again

[ADarbon]

when theyget as bad as mine you can feel the whole thing rumble as you pull away. purchased a new one just need the weather to do it now

[jon27267]
