My mechanic went over braking and steering systems first. When these checked out he suspected the transfer case or center diff.

following up on this issue. Ii's been a little while but I have been busy with several projects including building a cabin and landscaping at my house. Problem has been solved. The two things I did were to replace the activation motor in the transfer case and a transmission relay. Both were...

@2001LC thanks for your thoughts on this. I bought the truck several years ago and did not get anything on maintenance history. I have not replaced any steering system components. I have not replaced the fluid as yet. Front suspension has been gone over and there are no issues there. There...

I wouldn't call it a vibration, more of a shake or wobble. I will pop the dust caps off to check the hubs to check the c-clips Here's a video of what it looks like. steering wobble

Seeking help diagnosing an issue that has sidelined my truck. The problem only presents after the truck has been driven for a while. Problem does not arise during brief drives / short distances. There is no pattern to when it does happen -could show up after driving for 15 miles or 50...

Thanks so much for posting this. Exactly what I was looking for . It really pisses me off that my local dealer can't or won't access this when I ask for this exact part!

This is fantastic....Unfortunately for any of us now, the female connector 90980-10895 is NLA at any of the parts sources I have checked online. OF course, all the other parts are still available. Grrrr Does anyone know a source for one of these used? There are a couple of supposed "plug...

While i would prefer to have the braking wired I probably won't need it. I do not tow anything that big/heavy with the LX. I have an F350 and 550 at work for that. Trailer Jacks list an LX470 option that says it's plug and play by I am skeptical the connectors will mate. I'll check with them...

it's on the left side

It is not for the tow wiring? Do you know what this connector is for?

When I bought my 2006 LX470 the last part of the wiring ( the trailer plug and the wire to the chassis harness was missing. I have an open wiring connector where it attached. The dealer says all '06 models were wired at the factory and he could only sell me an entire harness. I just need the...

Can anyone provide a source for Toyota or Toyota compatible connectors? My LX470 was factory wired for towing but the PO must have damaged the trailer plug at the hitch and removed the plug and last section of wire that attaches at the chassis up by the spare tire. I need to buy that connector...

My truck came from the factory with the trailer wiring but is now missing the last part of the harness to the trailer hitch. I'm looking for the trailer hitch plug and the cable and connector that goes between the hitch and the body. The connector at the chassis can be seen in the pic I've...

I will be pulling the intake to replace air valves which have failed. I'm going to replace the pump while in there and was wondering if it makes sense to change out the starter while I'm in there. I don't want to have go in there again for another 100K miles. My truck is an LX470 with 110,000...

I bought these about 12 years ago from another member but never installed them. Actually forgot I had them. They were used but very low miles on them. I'd keep them but I with my new truck's AHC in good shape, I'd rather put the money to other use. $250 + shipping.
