• Rust at the hatch and rear trailing arms All years One source so far

  What to check: Look along the bottom edge of the hatch and at the rear trailing arms, and under any body kit.

  Two posters in one Grassroots Motorsports thread report rust, one at the bottom edge of the hatch and one at the rear trailing arms, hidden under body kits. A third in the same thread says these Supras do not seem to rust badly.

  On cars with the 5M-GE engine and an oil pressure gauge rather than a warning light, the oil pressure sender may be faulty. Under heat and pressure it can leak oil or let the engine seize without warning. The sender is replaced.²
