  1. Great clear video AMD. I am surprised how much surface rust on this car. Do you think we need to worry about those rusts? I apply some rust stops and zinc-aluminum spray when doing this meanwhile the tedious clip removal job had been done. We are in EU has not much option to get affordable coolant from Toyota. It cost astronomical price, more than $60 per 5L. Aisin sell it directly for Toyota for less than 1/3 price.

  2.  @TheCarCareNut  thanks, I used to live in Florida, working with car suspension was easier. Now, replacing stabilizer links is a nightmare, I have to use reciprocal saw, torch or vicegrip won't help. The rear stabilizer link cost $220 each for Corolla IM / Auris hybrid or lexus ct200h. Crazy price but only the rubber parts swell, the joint is still good. Next time Just the rubber parts, much easier and cheaper and keep the metal links since I do not need to cut it again. Rust is terrible on nuts and tread although the body has little of rust. Probably we should put grease or antisieze? But I'm afraid it will come loose. Aftermarket parts use locknuts but the ball joint does not last as long like Toyota part. I tried Schaeffer FAG/INA, german bearing supplier for Daimler, it's really smooth and galvanized at $26, about 2x than other brand

  4. I thought usually we must make sure the heater are opened. Therefore we are making sure the heater core has no air buble and works fine.
