AGREED! More balance under braking too. My current and last car, both fwd, have had four snows on. Bought 'em mounted on steel wheels so I can change them myself in spring and fall and know it was done right. i.e. use a bloody torque wrench!

I need to get a torque wrench. Can you recommend an exact make and model?
 
Thanks

I hear the Rav4 is getting a face lift, has it already happened or coming?

The dashboard noise discussed in previous posts is back though not quite as bad as before, but still there nonetheless. It can definitely be heard over some paved roads, moderately bumpy, etc. Two (2) fixes have been applied by the dealership :
1.) Cowl fix kit (did not help at all as applied).
2.) Dash rattle fix kit per Toyota (noise started
    about two (2) weeks after being in shop
    overnight for fix).
I was contacted by the dealer customer satisfaction dept. about the fix, and I received a
follow-up call from the Service Advisor because of it. They want us to bring the vehicle back in the shop again. Good-sign, but very inconvenient, d/t wife's work schedule. Will try again and report back. My wife is about ready to trade d/t the dash-rattle. Sounds goofey, but she's pretty TO'd. Otherwise she loves the vehicle. For free it's worth a try again.

Ours fixed perfectly now for close to 4 years. Some dealerships are terrible. Maybe try another one?

timing belt by richardson

Has anybody driven a rav where the timing belt has broken while driving? We have a 96 rav with 57000 miles. The manual says to check the belt at 60000 miles, a mechanic wants to sell me a new one for 500 dollars. I'm trying to decide if this ia really necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, that only includes the installation of a new timing belt. The tensioner, water pump and anything else would be extra.
