Yes, that is the correct location/picture for the bushings to replace. Change both sides together. You will be surprised with the results. Good luck!

Sticking Throttle body 2001 V6 @ 5F by purrformabvspc
Feb 21, 2004 (2:04 pm)
The RPM stays hi w/ foot off gas pedal in very cold temp. I suspect ice formation on the butterfly valve(Throttle).
 
*Found PCV valve clog & so I took the throttle body apart.
=> Found oil gum up & all over the intake system fwd to air filter housing.
It wasn't fun, but I cleaned it with a toothbrush & throttle cleaner.
 
Anybody know why this happens?
 
I have been using Mobil 1 since 5000K, and had a $10 Fram oil filter leak.(bad gasket) My auto tranny & differential fluid are also Mobil 1. My engine RMP 5000 to 5500 w/ auto tranny on acceleration.
Oil change every 5000 to 7000K. No sludge problems.
I am using K&N oil filter now. b/c I could apply safety wire to secure filter from spinning loose. This was a problem in the past.

turn signal is out by aspesisteve
Feb 21, 2004 (5:45 pm)
i have a '98 lexus es300 - i figure it has many common parts with the camry and was hoping someone here might know how to fix my problem.
 
The right front turn signal doens't work; the bulb is good and the fuses are good, but the indicator on my dash just blinks really fast. The rear indicator works.
 
Is there a relay somewhere in the wiring?

Turn signal.... by dekester

Had the same problem in my Olds Intrigue a few months ago. The second (bright) filament in the bulb (front indicator) was bad. I replaced both bulbs (so the amber color was the same from side to side) and I haven't had a reocurrance.
 
Try it - bulbs should run you no more than $5. Make sure you get the exact same type as a replacement as the DRL lights are different.

I did replace the bulbs - even though they looked fine and the problem didn't go away.
 
I fear there is a relay some where in the wiring that may be difficult to find.

Bulbs by dekester

The ony other thing I can think of - and that I've heard of happening - is the bulb socket may be bad and need to be replaced.

that's a pretty good hypothesis
I'll look into replacing it.
 
thanks

2003 Camry Service Bulletin by docbuckeye
Feb 23, 2004 (5:59 am)
NHTSA.org lists most recent 2003 Camry service bulletin as November 14, 2003. Describes it as: (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) CALIBRATION - SHIFTING ENHANCEMENT. *TT)
 
  Anyone know what this service bulletin addresses and if the "enhancement" works? Any chance it resolves some of the hesitancy reported by some owners? Thanks.

ABS for help by jade1
Feb 23, 2004 (11:25 am)
Hi,all.
My 96'camry le v6 was wonderful except some noise from the front wheels when i made a turn. So i had a mechanic to repair the cv axles,after that,the ABS indicator will come on while driving,(but the vehicle self-check is ok,the indicator will turn on then turn off).the mechanic told me that was just a sensor promble.I had the toyota dealer check it ,the dealer told me that :
the right front wheel speed sensor bolt is broken off in spindle,and wheel speed sensor will not fit in spindle hole.The dealer attempted to remove broken wheel speed sensor bolt from spondle ,bolt seized in spindle,he also found the speed sensor will not fit in hole ,while appears that spindle had been replaced at on time with part from recking yard,,possibly the part is incorrect for this year vehicle .I remembered that the mechanic did told me that he cann't remove the old bearing and went to another repair shop had it done and changed a new one .I think the mechanic did something wrong,and the dealer asked a huge bill (about $1000)to replace the whole stuff.what shall I do? can i ask the mechanic pay the bill ? at least ,a part of it,or let him repair the camry again(i dare not)? and can I drive the vehicle safely?
 
And ,last enening ,I had the vehicle oid changed,the guys who changed the oil had checked the signal / tail /brake /third brake /head lights,all are ok.But,i found the front side marker lights does not work,what wrong is that?
