    Identifying the Supra Mk3 i own

    Its RHD ? Anyway, if its an 89, then it is a facelift, probably some one swapped the front nose to prefacelift, for whatever reason.

    Looking for rear suspension rubber insulator

    For added longevity I added a few layers of thin rubber sheet above the spring before it meets the rear upper mount. I added a few more layers on the drivers side to balance out the drivers weight which will caue the car to lean more on that side.

    Trying to find an old thread.

    The site went down somewhere in 2021 or 2022. Then it was back up by the efforts of Jeff Lange many months later. Not all of the posts were able to be restored. I know one of my threads was gone and I cant find them anymore.

    Anti roll bar drop links question

    I bought the links with the part number you gave and I was able to find them locally. Of course they were listed for the toyota Wish in my country, which far outnumber the MA70 supra. They work great.

    MK3 carrier replacement

    I am not too sure what exaclty is the problem, but i recommend bolting the rear section after installing this bearing. With only the front end of DS slot the bearing in from behind the center mounting on the chassis, not from underneath. The carrier bearing is designed to be slotted from behind...

    Anti roll bar drop links question

    Recently I have been having thud noises from my aftermarket arb links so looking to replace them. I stupidly threw away the oem ones. 1. Were the oem ones plastic for both front and rear? 2. What are the correct lengths for the front and rear? Is the rear shorter than front ? Rock auto is...

    Difficulty getting caster close L and R

    Indeed it did have grease but I suspect a lot of squeaking is because the grease on the bushing faces dried out . Spacing the faces will help prevent rubbing on subframe. Yes you are right . After the alignment something else came up. As i was driving home i heard a groan coming from the engine...

    Difficulty getting caster close L and R

    Guys I am about the change out my lower arm, but I was thinking instead of welding the subframe tabs, I want to use JB weld steel stik instead. https://www.jbweld.com/product/steelstik-epoxy-putty-stick Will it be enough to hold the tabs from bending again ?

    Difficulty getting caster close L and R

    I am pretty sure mine is not rusted, but I had a look a few days ago and for certain a few of the front tabs were bent outwards, I need to bend them back and reinforce them. I bought a square Steel bar 5x5mm and will weld them to the tabs after straigthening later. I also bought a set of LCA...

    On the Mk3, there is a trans mount with a combined steel and rubber mount, with a big bolt in the middle. How do you tell that this mount is bad ? What does this large bolt in the middle do ?

    Diff rebuild by "pro" not going well

    I installed the original diff last week. It has so far the tightest pinion preload. I break in the diff with speeds under 60kmh, with three 5 km trips and 1hr cooldown. It is silent and no grinding or whining sounds under 60kmh. Today I finally drove a further distance and went up to 80 kmh. At...

    Having a lot of trouble with my 87 build i would really appreciate any advice

    You might be overheating due to a faulty clutch fan. To remove that damaged spark plug, i think you have no choice but to remove the valve head.
