Set about painting rear suspension and driveshafts this morning plus fitted KYB shock absorbers .... It’s really not in bad condition for its age 😎  I think this qualifies as RAV4 porn. 😂 |

Was tempted to do the driveshafts silver or grey but only had one tin of black to hand ..it will keep the rust at bay so happy with the results 👍🏻

Very nice Bob  That was the paint i was gonna get but in Black, but Mrs P didn't want anything painted so didn't bother  Anything that can be done to keep future rust at bay has to be worth doing 👍🏻👍🏻 |

Rear hubs painted and brakes all stripped off, also painted diff and propshaft . Little or no wear on the handbrake shoes so will leave alone.  Have ordered new discs has its not worth refitted pads only, found ADL Blueprint at a very good price 😉 , calipers to be clean/inspected and painted .  |

Calipers stripped down to their components and very pleased with the piston and the bore, no corrosion down the bore the seal has worked perfectly for 100k..other manufacturers could learn a thing or too about how to engineer brakes to last ! Top of the piston has surface rust on it but that’s ok as it’s on the outside of the seal and backs onto the pad. Used the paint I post above but was total rubbish so went back to my gloss grey I used on my Lexus calipers .   |
