#4688 of 4696 Re: Rear wheel bearings [wshfl] by brookze Nov 17, 2009 (4:56 pm)
Replying to: wshfl (Oct 06, 2009 3:31 pm) I just had my rear left and right wheel bearing replaced by my dealer this week.   My Highlander is a 2004 with 66500KM.   The Left side was so lose and loud that they did not discover the right side until they test drove it after replacement of the left side, then they scheduled me to replace the right side.   I have extended coverage so it was covered, but apparently it would have cost me big time.   Sounds and runs great now, hope these bearings last more than 60000km
#4689 of 4696 05HL whining noise at about 40 km/h speed by sergej Nov 19, 2009 (1:58 am)
Hi from Russia: Sorry for the potential repeat, but I skimmed this forum over all topics raised about whining at speed and failed to find a suitable remedy. I bought my 4WD 2.4 - 05HL couple years ago with 25Kml and have now 57Kml. At about 40 Kml I began to notice some annoying whining sound from under the car at 35-45 km/h speed regardless of AC on/off and at any AT selector position except for the R and N – neutral. In my case the whining does not change with engine RPM and car turnings that makes alternator belt and wheel bearings being innocent Replacement of fluids in transfer case, rear differential and automatic transmission did not eliminate the problem. As of now, I suspect that transmission is to blame since sound comes off instantly when I set up selector to N. Sound sometimes is variable (something like “whioo –whioo-whioo”) especially when I take my foot off the gas and coast within the above speed range. I would appreciate any suggestions and experience in this acoustic issue. Replies to this message: edh (Nov 19, 2009 6:01 am) sergej (Nov 19, 2009 10:29 pm)

Replying to: edh (Nov 19, 2009 6:01 am) I did it with silicon spray the other days - no change in whining sound. I wash my car regularly from underside also due to salt used in our northern area - no change also.  Nevertheless, thanks for reply.

#4693 of 4696 Cabin Filter Replacement by rzepa1 Dec 01, 2009 (6:21 am)
Anyone replaced cabin filter yet ? Is it behind the glove box ? If so, how one goes about removing glove box ? I have 2008 HL. Replies to this message: byumgr (Dec 01, 2009 7:16 am)
#4694 of 4696 Re: Cabin Filter Replacement [rzepa1] by byumgr Dec 01, 2009 (7:16 am)
Replying to: rzepa1 (Dec 01, 2009 6:21 am) Open the glove box completely. Push inward on both sides at the back and you should be able to lift out the glove box to get at the cabin filter.
#4695 of 4696 Changing brake fluid by lmacmil Dec 02, 2009 (7:26 am)
I am planning to suck the brake fluid out of the master cylinder reservoir of my 2004 Highlander and refill with fresh. I know it would be better to bleed the system but that's a hassle and over time the fresh fluid will mix with the old fluid and refresh it somewhat. I can repeat the process in a couple months and refresh it again.   There's a "strainer" (for lack of a better term) in the opening of the reservoir. I can't quite tell how it's attached but it doesn't respond to a light tug nor is there anything obvious to grab to get it out. Has anyone removed this and if so, how does it come out?

Replying to: lmacmil (Dec 02, 2009 7:26 am) Upon closer examination, I see that the strainer can be removed by lifting it slightly and rotating about 1/4 turn.
