Well researched and found timing cover etc has to come off so harness can run over back of ac compressor down under timing belt area etc. Going to half to yell at moron local long time mechanic to get labor discount. They will be replacing thermostat in a week so i guess they will be 1/3 of...
I assume shop after timing belt routed my harness wrong because I caught the drive belt fraying the plastic harness sheathing. So I am trying to move it but only found a post about behind fan bracket ? This was search via google havent been on mud in forever. Is it possible to re route as I...
UPDATE:
Cranked by torsion bars a little bit today since I was sagging in the front since I got the car last year and it reduced my sketchy handling on uneven, rough roads by about 40-50%.. I am happy just for that for now but probably will crank a just a little bit more. Definitely got...
I've done the bushings .. Helped with wandering a lot.
I am at 32psi now and the tram lining isn't horrible but still gotta be aware
Front end is a little low and I do need to level with the torsion bars yet.
Shop said its just the very stiff big, wide tires will tend to tram line more and...
Apparently after 2 mechanics and the owner driving my 100 and reinspecting all the suspension parts they found nothing wrong and also really liked the truck personally. Go figure.
They did mention the tires being pretty different then say a stock P rated tire will behave differently.
They are...
There is a thread how to on replacing the rack.. Pretty easy in the scheme of things.
I was going to buy from camelback toyota if I have to,do mine.. I find out tomorrow why my steering has the loose, dead spot.
Bushings were changed and got maybe 40% better but still loose in the middle. No...
I have used a few starter POR 15 kits with the glossy black on my 100 and 4runner and the gloss doesn't stay glossy for too long and fades to a nice satin black from what I have seen :)
Like most things with Corporations and Governments something bad has to happen in order for anything to get done (somebody dies and makes national news, etc)
Seems like a good PM would be a new pump/accumulator ($1200 parts) at 150k+ from what was mentioned.
I remember reading in the 100 FAQ...
I have the alignment sheet, they told me tie rods were fine which I double checked afterwards anyways. Said ball joints were ok and assuming control arms were fine since they could align and didn't mention anything being out of spec which just leads me more towards the rack itself. I am...
Thats what I would do... maybe look for any kind of uphill grade that is not "on road" that is "safe" enough to stop forward progress.. mind you thats if that is possible at all and would be if imminent impact of another vehicle was going to happen.
ehh, truck accelerates fine under WOT, its all just when hitting uneven road, bumps, potholes though I'll have them check the rear control arm bushings this Friday too.
Yea the bushings looked ok to me for the most part.. Ball joints not sure... My PS side had a glob of grease come out somehow the other week after doing new brake pads. I lift up the rubber and can see grease and all. DS not as bad.
2nd Owner from 24k miles replaced the DS with ball joint at...
Yea I thought its tough to get good pictures of the inner part of the bushing.
Taking into the shop Friday to hear their take on what the issue is. I may end up buying the whole LCA with ball joint anyways for PM
