NEED Some Help

Postby sean0leary » Sat Jun 01, 2013 2:42 pm

OK guys, so I've got a few problems here..... (2000 Solara v6)

1) The whole engine bay gets very hot even on the shortest of drives. After a mishap with an oil change, could this be caused due to too much oil? That's the only thing I can really think of.

2) I recently installed lowering suspension (KYB shocks/tein springs). The front is rubbing quite a bit, but I'm 95% positive that it is rubbing the brake rotor "skid plate". I think it may be grinding along the rotor itself.

3) BOTH rear shocks do NOT seem to be 100% together... when I got the assembly from the garage, the spring was actually loose from the shock itself... BUT BOTH driver & passenger side rear shocks make a "metal on metal" banging type sound, even over the smallest bumps. I definitely do not want my car to fall apart on me after spending $550+ on parts.....

So PLEASE if anybody has any knowledge/experience of these problems, ANY help would be greatly appreciated... I want my baby on the road again :(

I think that you should check and make sure that when your car is started that the fans turn on to cool the car down

If they do work. Then you might have to check your water pump thats what moves the anti freeze throughout the engine
