GREASING TOOL TURN YOUR GARAGE SPINDLE From Terrain Tamer INTO SOMETHING SPECIAL Rhino Linings says the humble garage floor will never be the same again
There are many options now available to transform your standard concrete slab into a feature point. Rhino Linings says its Flake Flooring is at the forefront of these concrete coatings for revamping this often-overlooked area. With a range of mixed colours available, there is a colour combination to match whatever style you like. Not just aesthetically appealing, Rhino Linings says Flake floors are extremely durable, seamless, easy to clean and impervious to grease, oils, and chemicals. Most garage floors also have cracks and imperfections which will all be covered up during the preparation stage.
Terrain Tamer’s Spindle Inner Bearing / Bush Greasing Tool, or ‘Spindle Greasing Tool’ for short allows greasing of Toyota spindle bushes, without needing to remove the spindle or wheel hub.
Terrain Tamer explains that it is not uncommon for the inner spindle / CV driveshaft bearing / bush to fail prematurely, due to being starved of lubricant, as it cannot be greased without the spindle being removed. The Spindle Greasing Tool has been designed as a solution to this problem. After removing the drive flange, free wheel hub and bearing adjustment lock nut, the tool fits on the threaded end of the spindle. Grease is then pumped between the spindle and the drive shaft.

Terrain Tamer says molybdenum grease is recommended for this application.
Terrain Tamer says the rigorous research, development and testing that all of its parts go through before they can bear the Terrain Tamer stamp ensures “every part is at least equal to original equipment and often far exceeding the standard.”
Compatible with all Toyota threaded spindles, Terrain Tamer says the bearings’ longevity is

Global suspension manufacturer KYB’s Strut Kit range provides a simplified product offering for customers with everything they need in one box. KYB says the strut kit is perfect for customers who want longer lasting components, reduced fitting costs and the confidence of a perfect fit – first time, every time. “The strut is a crucial part of the vehicle’s steering system and greatly affects alignment angles, so it is important to ensure this part is in optimum condition for vehicle safety,” KYB Senior Product Manager, Larry Coulthard, said.
also allow you to save on labour time, with the kits coming complete with everything you need in the one box. “And thanks to the fact that the kits are vehiclespecific by design, you can rest assured each part is ideal for its corresponding make and model for a perfect fit.”
“If you are in the situation where a strut has failed, it is highly likely that the strut mount, dust boot and bump stop will have worn out as well.
Sixteen vehicle-specific Strut Kits were released in the initial launch with kits for additional vehicles set to be introduced in the future.
“Because of this, we recommend all related components should be replaced at the same time to avoid further problems and optimal performance.
“KYB is one of the largest worldwide manufacturers of OE shock absorbers, so who better to develop and manufacture AM replacement suspension components!” Larry said.
“While replacing struts will restore the vehicle’s suspension to like new condition, replacing the strut mount, dust boot and bump stop at the same time will ensure the prolonging of the strut’s life by providing enhanced protection and support.
Established in 1919, KYB has become a world leader in the development and application of hydraulics technology. KYB Shock Absorbers are distributed by NGK Spark Plugs Australia.
