Page 535 of the FSM (or "rear axle - 27") has a diagram and some details about the orientation of the gaskets:

I used to not replace seals when doing stuff like this because I figured it didn't leak before so it should still be good, and sometimes that is the case but too many times I've found it starts leaking within a week of doing the job, so now I always do seals whenever I disturb them in cases like thi...

Wow, it looks great. Everything is so shiny! Do you know what those wheels are from? What size are the tires? Did the car come with those 'motor trend' rubber mats? I've never seen those, I love the custom fits for the rear seat floor and cargo area. Or did the cargo mat just require trimming? Eithe...

Oh, I thought I remembered the brake drum plate had to come off but like I said, it's been years since I've done that job so I must be misremembering it (or maybe I needed to add that step for some other job I was also doing concurrently, who knows). Chris, is there a seal in there that needs to be ...

I followed the dimensions from fb user JayJay Idingo (hes on there, dont know his name though). Funny you mention that because I randomly thought about this a few days ago and wonder if he is JDNightFox on here. JDNightFox used to have a profile pic that looked like JayJay Idingo's dog mask thing.

The hum in the back end might be a bad bearing back there. To diagnose those, I've had my wife drive the car at the speeds the sound is most noticeable while I ride in the cargo area like you did to find your shock mount problem. Then I listen closely to each side to see if it's louder on one side. ...

You beat me to it, yes idle mixture only affects idle, so unless you let the car idle for an entire tank of gas, the plugs won't be able to tell you how lean or rich it is idling. But if your idle sounds and feels good already, plus you don't do a lot of city driving, I think you're already good (in...

I’ll try this. I can say that I replaced the O2 sensor too. Through trying to fix this idle issue, I tested the sensor at the diagnostic port for the sensor, and even after completely warm and driving it around couldn’t get a reading at all, per the FSM. The sensor wire was bent and missing insulat...

Quick story. My last tercel needed an alternator so I bought one. That tercel had a v-belt and the new alt came with a pulley for a ribbed belt so I swapped the pulleys, returned the ribbed pulley with the old alt for the core refund, and all was well until the car became too much of a liability and...

I just pm'd you

I didn't realize there was a difference between the two, what is it?

Have you posted it on the 4wd tercel facebook group? It sees a lot more action than this forum.

When I got my current Tercel, the cover for the idle mixture screw was already drilled out. The idle wasn't great so I unscrewed the idle mixture screw a bit and the idle improved dramatically. So I just kept going until I was worried the screw was going to pop out. I just checked now and it's at 5 ...

Are you on facebook? The 4wd Tercel group there is much more active than this forum, I think you would find what you're looking for much quicker than here.
