The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota MR2? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.

Suspension Service & Repair for 1994 Toyota MR2

When you first bought your 1994 Toyota MR2, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your MR2 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1994 Toyota MR2 in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your MR2 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

1994 Toyota MR2 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why is my Toyota MR2 bouncing excessively?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your MR2 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my MR2 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your MR2 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my MR2's steering and suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your MR2's A/C system.
  • Why does my MR2’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your MR2’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Toyota MR2 transmission fluid leak?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota MR2, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Can I drive my Toyota MR2 with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your MR2 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged.
