Toyota wires its fans to run, unless the temperature switch for the fans -- it's mounted on the radiator -- turns them off. It's a safety protocol, so that if the temperature switch fails the fans run...

Dawn, like all dish detergeants, is a degreaser. This strips the paint of some of the oils which keep it in proper chemical balance and prevent oxidation.
If you insist on using dish detergeant, don't...

The abrasive will cut the wax-coated top layer of paint off, sure, but then you're rubbing that wax-co...

The enamels used on cars need to breathe in order to cure -- the solvents which make the paint liquid need to evaporate. Waxes and sealants prevent the paint from curing.
While the paint is curing, it...

Actually, the proper Toyota term is suspension arms. The one you're measuring, with the threaded toe adjuster, is the No. 2 arm. The one in front of that is the No. 1 arm, with one No. 2 and one No. 1...

I always advocate spring compressors -- I'd rather be bored than get a surprise. It's the unlikely and unanticipated that gets people hurt.

Best guess: spring twisted in the spring seat when you turned the strut. The rubber squeal you hear is the spring seat insulator compressing between the spring and the spring seat. Double check that t...

Do NOT use dish soap. It will do a great job stripping away any wax, but it will also pull oils out of the paint.
What you use depends upon how thorough you want to be. Just get it clean and keep it f...
