The brake noise you are experiencing is pad to caliper knock.

it is hard to describe over the net, but the pads sit in slots that have a strip of spring steel to allow quite operation of the brakes. Howveer this did not work for toyota.

Toyota now sell revised brake pads for front and I think rear as well (strikes me blank at this moment).
However, these pads will eliminate two of your problems.
Firstly the knock whilst applying brake from forward into reverse or vise versa.
It will also eliminate the squeal you get when you apply the brakes to slow down.

As for the indicator problem, it sounds like a wiring dilema that has occured as a result of your accident, possible intermittant open circuit after you have hit a bump or something.

As for the C.V boot replacement, $300 per side sounds a little expensive if you ask me. If they had said $300 for both sides, I would still be a bit worried.
It costs just as much to buy and fit exchange reconditioned shafts for that.
This I know cause i do them both at work and at home.

Hope I have helped yu out.
If there is anything else you would like help with, do not hesitate to ask.

colouring_in_book,

Thanks a lot for your reply, with the caliper knock, are you saying if I ask Toyota to replace it with the revised brake pads, both the squeal brake noise and the reverse-forward knock noise will disappear?

But I thought the squeal noise comes from the brakes and while the reverse-forward noise comes from the engine.....

Yeah, that's what I thought too, the indicator problems must be related to the accident...

Yes, I reckon the $300 per side C.V shaft is pretty expensive too... I don't know if its dealer specific or what... but the car have just had a $600 80,000kms service with nothing major changed... which I reckon is pretty expensive...

And I have also found out the part which was replaced by Toyota who thought that was causing the caliper knock noise...it's called "Eng Mtft v497"

An comments/suggestions would be really great...

Thanks guys..

Dunk
