Well , I spent half a day at toyota going thru the - ride height , Ahc pressure and a new allingment. I think Toyota liked having me there , cause they had not done the AHC stuff before.. I also changed the power steering pump - that didn't do much - if anything. A good sett up of AHC/ alignment...

For som reason , I just have not been able to get the 100 ride nice on any 275/70 16 tires (they have all been street tires Yokohama ,michelin ). The studied Winter tires are 265/70 and it always been nice to get them on, the ride is so much better - no tram lining. So now I'm ditching my...

Ponytl , what size did you buy ?

It's my big day at Toyota on friday, So I thought I'd put on my old red Toyota mechanic dress and try and help them out. new alignment and fix these other issues. The steering rack is not in the center and i doubt the SAS is either. Can they adjust ( zero ed ) the SAS electronically or does the...

OK. just checked tire preussures ,and I see both the new front tires already have wear on the inside. They have only been on for a few hundred miles. . The caster /camber marks are pretty much in the center. Now I sure they did a (very) bad alignment. It has never worn tires uneven before. I'll...

Paddo , Thats what I was thinking to (steering angel sensor ). I never did get my Tecstream working . I have a buddy that runs a shop with a pro monitor, But I don't want to bug him with this yet. Toyota charges over $ 200 an hour , and they have done the job , they better get it right. Next...

I'm not sure if there is a Filter in the PAS reservoir . But I'll take a look. I've done the other items on the list. Replacing the front UCA did make a big difference on mine too, so I replaced all the bushings and balljoints. I don't see how bad motor mounts could have anything to do with this...

The tires are Michelin truck tires Highway/road. I forget the model, the ones that i took off where Yokohama geolander road tires. i will try adjusting the pressure. I have tried at least 3 different tires and rims 275/75 16, and some 275/?? 20. All road tires. never tried AT or mud . But the...

Thanks for all the replys. Normaly , I do my own work on the truck . That way i know what has been done, how it's been done, and maybe find something else that needs a fix. But I let Toyota change the rack because of time , they have a lift and an alignment + it was in the shop for some...

i've been here before about bad handling , but still things are not good. HDJ 100 4,2 D, 200 k km , manual 5 speed , ahc , 275/70 16 -100% stock. Problem : The truck will not go down the road straight , and making smale corrections at 60 mph is so heavy, you almost need 2 hands on the wheel...

Time to change oil in the gearbox. The 2nd gear (syncro ) has allways been a little - how should I say - hard to get in gear when it's cold. I Guess it's a common problem with these. I read somewhere that, some types of oil make a big differance on these gearboxes. Castrol vmx-m ??? If anyone...

One thing that did improve things alot was replacing the front UCA. A lot of rubber on these bushings . So I replaced them all . But it dosen't seem to be a common problem, and everything I took off l@@ked ok. Right now she is tight as ever, but is soooo Heavy on the Wheel when making small...

I'm going to try another LC100, Asp. I don't think Toyota ever would let anything like this out on the road , and I don't see any reason why it shoulden't be able to handle like new. I've had mine for 10 years now (2000 mod , 150 000 miles) , and never had any other problems (well few small...

CruiserPek , have you found the cause of the problem ? interesting thread , I have had the same problem for years ! And it still rides like crap. The LC is all over the road , pulls to the left and the right ,and is really not very safe to drive. Good news is that not many have this problem , in...

Ok Badlander, I didn't expect a painted number .Yes they are heavily under coated , so I'll get the rag out and start cleaning . Thanks !
