thank you so much for these Tarago videos Chris there is so little information, on this model, and you know it all and explain it in such a great way👌 i have this car and i love it so much.. my dream car! i feel like smaller hands are helpful with working on the Tarago 😂 thanks again Chris! keep it up! 👍
@@chrisbiker919 all the best for the trip! i have nothing but a complete feeling of faith in the reliability of this car! I'm pretty sure many Taragos have gone around Australia without much hassle ive just ticked over 300,000kms!! going strong 👌 looking forward to the videos
Beautiful mate, better than our Repco store 'How to' video. I noticed you didn't torque them though. Any reason why you wouldn't? Just curious as when I called Toyota about torque settings for the brake assembly they said they don't use them. Just hand tighten everything. Just found it odd is all.
Thanks for the comment. I use the torque wrench on cylinder heads or internal engine parts. I almost always use my elbow as the torque wrench for everything else.
I haven't had to replace mine. To inspect them you can look where the arm bolts to the frame and see if the rubber is deteriorated, also it should not have lots of play in it (side to side & back and forth)
@@chrisbiker919 Thanks. I'll have a look at them. Not getting any symptoms and I would have gone on blissfully ignorant had it not been mentioned. I was skeptical as they said it's a major job requiring about two days and over $1500aud.

Chris - thanks for making and posting this video. 👍🇬🇧
I'll keep making them 👍
Thx for ur guidance and I successfully changed right side but now I stuck at left side but couldn't take off even I already sprayed a lot of wd40😢
Very Cool Chris.
You got a lot of kms out of those shocks, my car is 17 years old as well, great video Chris, cheers my friend 😎 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎸 🎼
I can't imagine how much shocks are for a Mercedes. I paid $137 for the set.
@@chrisbiker919 haha don't wanna know, but just had rear rotors and pads done for $350, cheers 😎 🎵 🎵
thanks again mate noticed mine is sitting lower that other Tarago's will get to this soon
Glad I could help

Thanks for the comment, I am going on a 5,000 km road trip with it, so I will try to film some of that.

Great video thanks!
Chris, can you do a video on how to change breaks and disks please.

@@chrisbiker919 Fair enough :-) Cheers
Why in market still got selling bush/damper inside the dust cover but original doesn't come with?
Great video. Thanks for sharing it's very helpful.
Did you change both sides? Is it necessary to change both of only one is leaking?
Cheers
I would replace both. The oil in the old one will always be different viscosity then the new and affect ride.
Hi mate, I've watched most of your videos on the Tarago. Just wanted to ask do you have info about removing the throttle body? Thanks.
No, not yet but if I do I will link to this comment. Thanks for the comment.
@@chrisbiker919 cheers for the reply mate. Love your videos, was easy to fix my wife's Tarago. Thanks again.
Hi Chris, is there rubber stopper/bumper inside the cover? And is it necessary to jack up the car up to remove the shocks?
There is a rubber cushion on top of that cover but no bump stop inside the cover. It is not necessary to jack up the car to remove the shocks
@@chrisbiker919 thanks for the prompt reply & thanks for making these videos.. they are a great source of very useful info
Have you had to replace the trailing arm bushes? I've been told mine need doing but not sure how to inspect them.

Hi Chris, what is the torque for the bottom nut in N.m?
Thanks for the comment, it is 115 N.m of torque for the bottom nut
Good job
Never wear white t shirts working on cars , wear old throw away clothes so you don’t have to wash them
