Re: Bought a used 2009 Vibe, have problems with suspension/b

Also, I'll post pics of the 2004 (red with sport package and moonroof) shortly after I get it washed tomorrow. May take awhile, weather is getting good outside so I may take my motorcycle to work. I don't know if anyone else on the forum has done it yet but the 2004 has never had anything but full s...

Re: Bought a used 2009 Vibe, have problems with suspension/b

Hey there Bob. Look over the index pages here and let me know what you'd like to see. Then I'll scan them in PDF format and e-mail them to you directly. Provide me with an e-mail address so you can get them. I'll do this over the weekend and then you can start tearing into these repairs :D Always w...

Re: Bought a used 2009 Vibe, have problems with suspension/b

Nice BLACK 09 with tint & the 2.4L engine & 17" alloys :D Give me a day or two and I'll go through my Helm manuals (yeah I have the set and bought them when they were a bargain @ $150.00 some three years ago :o ) If it is not too many pages, I'll scan them and e-mail them to you. I'd r...

Re: Bought a used 2009 Vibe, have problems with suspension/b

So far, no downloadable service manual or guides for changing brakes/suspension on a 2009 vibe. I'd recommend checking matrixowners.com as well for a guide for an 09/10 Matrix which should be the same. If you don't find one you could subscribe to techinfo.toyota.com for a couple days for $15 and do...

Re: Bought a used 2009 Vibe, have problems with suspension/b

Welcome! I just recently bought a 2009 with similar miles (98000). On any vehicle with that many miles where you don't know the maintenance history I would at least drain and replace coolant and transmission fluid, replace spark plugs, oil & filter, air filter and cabin filter. The extra wear o...

Bought a used 2009 Vibe, have problems with suspension/brake

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have owned a 2004 vibe since 2009. I was looking for a replacement for my wife when I found a 2009 vibe with 109,000 miles in my price range. My old one has 130,000 and I owned it since 75,000 miles so I thought there wouldn't be much wrong with it. I was wrong unfortuna...
