Some part numbers are different for the 2003-2007 models; complete list below. Part Number Part Name 43512-60171 Disc Brake Rotor, Front (2) 47781-60110 Splash Shield, RH 47782-60110 Splash Shield, LH 90080-11370 Bolt W Washer...

I have no other issues with caliper, wheel hubs/bearings... I found some surface rust on the caliper pistons, I just sanded it down before compressing the caliper. If your brake aren't frozen, then the caliper/piston are most like ok. Call me...

You're about to head down the rabbit hole pulling the rotors; with interrelated parts cost but at your mileage at the wheel bearings are probably good- visual inspection will dictate. Heres the challenge- you’ll be hard pressed to get proper...

After extensive adjusting of my factory e-brake, it puts a death-grip on the axle. My shoes are definitely worn (maybe 1/3 pad is gone). I can't see how this dogbone changes any geometry enough to make a significant difference in braking power.

Did my rack yesterday and had a few observations. The victim is a '99 LX with 330K and some exposure to Colorado salt/water over the years. I read all the Mud threads and greatly benefitted from all the observations. My rack was leaking at the...

About to undergo steering rack replacement, and had just a few questions for point of clarification since this thread was created in 2012. The steering wheel should be locked before disconnecting the driveshaft splines to keep the clock spring...

I just wrote up this long how to for member who PMed me so i figured I may as well share it with the masses. 98 LC 200k seemingly well cared for miles, but this is def its first rack. Its now strictly for off road use. This is not a 1 banana...

For something that’s easy to swap (like a coil pack) sure, get an off-brand part with warranty. But if it costs $575 and a whole day to swap a part, even if it’s free, then I’d opt for a proven 300k-mile OEM part.

UPDATE: I tested the power steering pump by turning from lock to lock and did notice the fluid move a bit. No noise, no leaks, none of the boots were torn, Tie rods looked fine and did not clunk. Looking deeper, I inspected the intermediate...

During re-gearing to 4.88, the mechanic informed me that my brake pads, calipers and rotors need to be replaced. Since this is a 20-year old car (production date 02/2002), might as well refresh the whole parts related to braking whilst it's...

Excellent point, I've heard of several reports (including @2001LC's) about crimped transmission wiring on the top of the bellhousing. There's not a lot of clearance for jacking up the engine (replacing motor mounts etc.).

If ECU replacement, doesn't solve issue. I'd look and AT wiring harnesses, which some have had issue with. This assumes ATF condition, type and level as it should be. But even if not, I don't think it would give a bad speed (MPH) reading.

This is some great detective work. Nice job! Keep us posted.

Hi All, I have had a persistent issue for the last year with the transmission in my 2000 LX470 losing 4th gear/OD while driving. Initially, I went through the most common fixes: checking/replacing the transmission sensors, wheel speed (ABS)...

I would love to have a setup like that. Keeps the screen for backup cam etc., but also has physical buttons for climate controls, and keeps tape deck, CD changer etc. Good luck, @Pedro76!

I need a help I have LX470 Landcruiser, but I have a problem with my radio that comes with AC Control I am looking for a replacement like upgraded one as per attached .can any one help me?.

I'm in progress with a big front end overhaul and just wanted to share another data point here. My rig has 255k on it, and my needle bearing on both sides didn't appear to have been serviced in quite a while if at all. But the good news is...

Bad wheel bearings, are not likely going to be so bad they's set of ABS. If they were that bad, preload would be high with very little torque on adjusting nut. Needle bearings are difficult to look at and make the call. That's why I use axle...

The axle needle bearing will not affect ABS (traction control). CVJ here in Denver does a good job, with remain FDS. But with a few issues, like cheap boots. Another issues is the wear on the reused axle splines. They also paint black. The...

^^ @2001LC - I was writing when you posted- lol Anyway I think consensus is that the bearings are very long lasting, and seldom require replacing unless drowned in mud or salt water due to a bad seal. However the bushing wears, and this wear is...

While working my project to refresh the 99 LX's front suspension with new ball joints, CV axles, tie-rod ends, I pulled the knuckle. The previous owner did a good job of replacing the wheel bearings and seals. The bearings were nice and...

Inner hub seal: 90316-72001 Always change whenever you do any work on the hub. It's critical to keep dust and water out, and grease in so that it doesn't end up on the backside of the brake disk.
