Oh it was eventful, if you look closely you can see me leaning out of the window Ace-Ventura style. It was absolutely pouring down and the sap/moss -- i couldn't get off the windshield for anything. But I was only a few blocks away. So, sent it...

The whirring you initially heard was probably the brake booster. Totally normal.

https://autoparts.toyotaofdecatur.com/products/product/shaft-assy-fr-drive-4343060040 It’s called a front driveshaft assembly, which is probably what throws you off. The price is further discounted as you go through the checkout process. This...

You’ll be completely underwhelmed at the OEM foam gasket, and more so when it starts leaking again in a few years. A couple years ago I used a piece of rubber window screen spline. It worked great.

Just to fulfill your prophesy, I have 80k miles on my 555s on my 100, and going strong. Did you look to see if you can just buy new boots? You actually can for the OEM uppers and lowers, at about $10 each. I rebooted my LX, as the boots...

It does take a little finagling to solve the puzzle, but it’s doable.

Drove out to where I park my other obsession. I think this might have something to do with my bank account balance.

Highly recommend replacing the hubs at the same time, and make sure you get new C clips. Most likely size D or E with new axles, in my experience.

I just checked the old interweb and new OEM axles can be had for $320 each. Several places are running Labor Day free shipping sales as well. I just checked Serra Toyota and they are $320 shipped.

I’ve done it several times popping tie rod end and upper ball joint.

Download the manual. You can jump the maintenance port in the engine bay to see what the issue is, or get an OBD reader to get the codes. Over time I’ve had to have both front seatbelts rebuilt to clear the light.

Just finished renovating my garage after my new driveway was poured. Used my 100 to haul home the wall art for the newly renovated garage!

That time me and a friend drove from Memphis to Joshua Tree National Park and back, about 4k miles round trip.

Used Grok to add some wildflowers rather than grassy gravel yesterday just after sunrise, looking westward.

I couldn’t find before pictures, but this is what it looks like when put together.

Are you saying you need to order a new spindle? If you gouged the spindle, use a file or sand paper to knock down the high points. Then just put the bearing in. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Post a picture if you can.

I used Mobil 1. I couldn’t get a Toyota bearing for four days, and really needed to wrap it up on the weekend. I use the fish scale to get 12-15 lb of breakaway, and don’t pay attention to the torque.

Drive slower.

You can also select C rated ATs, if you aren’t going to be hitting it to hard. That will cut down on the weight considerably.

Put your vin number in at Partsouq.com. I'm fairly certain you'll get the best price and probably have the parts within the week. I replaced these on mine about 85k miles ago. You will destroy the old bearing getting it out. They are pretty...

Mobil 1 5w30 is fine. I’d avoid the high mileage version, that’s all. Once you’ve used it a few times, you can never go back to regular oil. I’m personally a fan of Pennzoil Ultra Premium, based on scientific testing. My highest mileage truck is...

You’re a life saver! Thx a ton

I’d stick your head under the dash and make sure the MC shaft is able to fully extend. It makes sense in my mind that when the ABS electrically cycles it relieves the pressure, but once you press the pedal again it won’t release unless it fully...
