Gentlemen,
today I put the LC on my inspection pit and, believe it or not: There is no play between inboard tulip and front diff. Or, at least, I couldn´t see nothing similar to a problem.
I don´t know what happened the day I saw/felt the "play"; maybe I was halluzinating, maybe dreaming, I...
2001LC: Yes, I just saw what you refer to; in his first post GerLC100 mixes "drive shaft" and "U joints". Drive shafts don´t have U joints. So I put the picture to make it more clear, and in his answer, he shows a zoomed part of my drawing; so I think we all now are talking about the same part...
GerLC100: Exact! The play I feel, only could be located in the seat/bearing (I think). But maybe it is not play, just normal? This is, what I don´t know.
2001LC: I think this weekend I can put the car on my inspection pit and maybe make a short video. But as you say, if there is really play in...
Maybe I expressed it not good enough:
The play is not between driveshaft´s shaft and the inboard joint. This is everything fine. The inboard joint has "angling play" in it´s seat in the front diff. Let´s say it this way: If I grab the innner joint by hand and try to move it; I can feel that this...
GerLC100: You are totally right, it is difficult to understand from my description what I refer to. So I made a poor man´s drawing, based on a drawing I found in the Toyota´s Vehicle Description for LC10. I marked in red color the angling play I noticed.
As I understand the driveshaft´s seat in...
Gentlemen!
I few days ago, laying under my car (´98 HDJ100, ATM, independet front axles, 250.000km) and touching some parts, I´ve noticed what to me seems a relative big play (slack? What´s the correct english word?) between the inner RH driveshaft´s joint and it´s seat in the front diff. I try...
Hello,
can someone tell me if it is possible (and if so, how) to distingush a "Genuine Toyota spare part" from a "chinese one"? After failing the booster-pump-motor of my HDJ100 (250.000km, brushes and collector complete worn); I ordered this item:
Toyota Land Cruiser Lexus LX470 OEM Brake...
@Amski: Nice, that you could have loosened the mecanism turning the adjustment axle. Now, unblocked, when you try to move the telescopic mecanism manually (with dismounted bracket), is this possible without using a lot of force? If not, a new motor will work for a while and then also end messed...
YES! Remove the whole steering column, dismantle it, if necessary with carefully dosified brute force, and clean all that old "grease" what very probably is what makes any movement impossible. As I wrote in an earlier post, my telescopic mecanism also seemd to be completely blocked, until I...
If only one of the movement directions isn´t working, I suspect that there is a failure in the signal that tells the ECU what and in which direction to move. This signal is only a tension or electric potential, made by a simple resistor network with one input voltage from the ECU and different...
@HTXLX470: Have you seen the photo of the ECU´s interior I´ve posted? I think that this is a very expensive part - and I wonder if you searched for any possible failure _before_ the ECU, as power supply (fuse, wiring), signals levels etc.
You are really tough guys :-)
There is a big german forum dedicated to LandCruisers, and about the 8 or 9 years I was active member there, I never read from anybody that have changed the acumulators. But from a lot of people saying that this suspension system and the AHC is "crap", and will be...
