I might want the bike rack!

 

Hey where do you all get your alignment done in SLC? The dealership is bit too pricey for me to do regular alignments for my wife's car. I just need to see a print out of the alignment specs once the job is done. Any recommendations?

 

rack for sale.

 

Vidur, I would recommend any Firestone shop. They have lifetime alignments.

 

Thanks Tim!

Hey I barely got myself a 04 TL and was wondering if anyone here has navigation in theirs as well. If so, does anyone else have the "please check your disk" screen?

 

Yeah mine's on the fritz. It just resets perpetually and doesn't go to the main menu anymore. I'm not planning on fixing it. Not worth the dough when I have maps on my phone.

 

jesse huynh, younger brother of jimmy?

 

yeah, im assuming you are jimmy pham right? lol

 

I bought a salvage 2001 CL-S and so far I LOVE this car. I owned a Legend before this one.

Bike rack still available and SPC rear camber and window visors.

we should wrap your grill in black vinyl to make it pop out a little tony

 

The whole thing or just the middle bar?

 

I want to wrap mine with a carbon fiber vinyl. Anyone know a good place to get some and how hard it is to do it?

 

The middle of the grille is really hard. Too many complex curves and the material gets way too stretched. Also its worth covering it in clearcoat once its done. I've done mine twice now and it makes the weave move all over the place. Planning on cutting out the center soon.

Also other pieces can be wrapped in and around the car those are easier and come out really well. I do wrap those but the center grille I wouldn't advise. It starts to seperate from sun exposure later on.

 

You could dip it too. If its a matte black finish you're looking for. Cheap and fast.

 

i wrapped mine in vinyl to make it shiny and smooth

Has anyones TL made that whinning sound when you turn your wheel or slow down? Mine just started doing that and Im thinking its because its so cold?

 

Wet brakes?

 

I wish it was but I dont think its wet brakes.

 

That can be a lot of things. Video would help a lot. Could be salt causing the sound or steering rack or wheel bearings. Need a lot more info to figure it out.

 

Ill see if I can get a video up later today. my buddy up in Layton has the same car and he said his was making the same sound and the dealership said it was the power steering...

 

Yeah the cheapest fix first is to pop open the steering fluid resovoir to see if there are any bubbles in the fluid when the car is running. There may just be a simple leak and you'll have to do the O-ring fix to see if it cures things.

If that's not the case then check the fluid level and see if its leaking or dropping quickly. And finally if the steering gets hard at parking speed and makes a sound then the PS rack's seals may be failing.

Do you get a lot of torque steer that you have to fight while driving hard?

 

not alot of fighting while turning. Turns like it always has just making that annoying whinning sound.

 

Might be the seals for the steering rack or O-Ring issue. Labor might be the biggest cost since it doesn't require replacing the whole rack. Check for bubbles in the steering fluid reservoir first then go from there. The O-ring is the cheapest fix and is usually the loudest since its leaking air into the system.

Don't tell the tech diagnosing the issue what you think it is though. See what he tells you. At Jody Wilkinson its about 1000 if you're replacing the whole rack but they give a 3 year warranty on it.

It may not necessarily be that much since you don't have to change the rack but do your research. I've heard of people buying a used rack and paying for labor at any shop bringing down the price.

 

It hasnt made that whinning sound lately. maybe because it was so cold? Still going to need to take it in to get checked.

 

If anyone knows someone looking for a tl. Help me out.
