Replying to: silverltd (Jun 21, 2007 2:09 pm) Thanks, silveltd, I happened to be at the Toyota Dealer today and they confirmed that "halfway" is fine. They did however note that I was not alone in this concern since many new owners have this question. With their prior vehicles running near a "quarter" on the temperature guage.   Which was my problem since every care I have owned that I can remember has run at the "quarter" point.   I also asked about liquid draining from the air conditioning when the HL is turned off. And they said that was normal as well. Often times I have pretty good drainage after stopping and turning off the air conditioning. But they said as long as it was "clear" that was fine since it wasn't from the radiator. Replies to this message: grahampeters (Jun 23, 2007 2:27 pm) herzogtum71 (Jun 25, 2007 12:53 pm)

Replying to: toyotagal (Jun 23, 2007 1:19 pm) G'day   The condensed water vapour that flows out of the irconditioner all the time is only really apparent when you stop and it collects under the vehicle. You will notice it a lot more if the air is humid as the air conditioner is very good at pulling the moiture out of the air in the car. I suspect that the rason this is more signifcant than a sedan is to do with the volume of air in the car.   It is entirely normal.   Cheers   Graham

Replying to: toyotagal (Jun 23, 2007 1:19 pm) I would just add that the AC is in use even if you don't have the AC turned on but if you have the directional control set to windshield defog or half-defog. I asked about that when we got a new Toyota in 2002 because our previous vehicles didn't work that way. I wondered why it was dripping when the AC wasn't in use.

Highlander V6 02 88K....Service manager says it's time to decide whether to keep it or not. If I want to keep it, he suggests bringing it in and having the belt, water pump, and engine seals done at one time to save money. Does this make sense?

Replying to: wwest (Jun 25, 2007 7:02 pm) The Edmunds Maintenance Guide says the timing belt should be done at 90k, along with replacing some fluids. Replies to this message: wwest (Jun 26, 2007 8:32 am) steve_ (Jun 26, 2007 11:22 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 25, 2007 9:13 pm) Yes, but I know of at least three LS400s, two 92s and one 95, with 150,000 plus miles and running with the original factory timing belt, water pump, and......engine seals...??!!   The timing belt from my 92 LS400 came out at 153,000 and looked as if it might go another 150,000 miles.   15 years later and there has been no improvement in timing belt durability...???   NOT!

Replying to: wwest (Jun 26, 2007 8:32 am) I'm 12,000 miles "overdue" on my Quest belt with no plans to change it, but the engine is non-interference. Is that the case with the Highlander?
#4071 of 4696 Lower Control Arm Bushings by edvk Jul 03, 2007 (10:00 am)
My service manager says that the bushings on the front end of my 2001 Highlander are cracked and need replacing. To do this, the entire lower control arm needs to be replaced.   Has anybody been thru this experience. From past experiences, bushings are cheap, but when you include the entire arm, things get pricier.   Is there a way to replace just the bushings?   Help is appreciated.

Replying to: edvk (Jul 03, 2007 10:00 am) All rubber shows cracks after a few years- that does not mean the bushing is defective. If the rubbers is still solid around the middle tube that the bolt is in, surface cracking is not a problem.
