Sweet! that's good news for me. Thank you. I'm going to go with a "new to me" gray belt.

Hello MUD, I need to buy a new rear (middle row) seatbelt assembly for my 1999 100 series. The belt would be for the driver side passenger. My question is if i purchase the new seatbelt assembly, can i install it myself or does the inner spring mechanism need to be preloaded like the front seat...

I agree. I just wanted some other opinions just in case I was missing something. fingers crossed the alignment fixes the issue.

Thank you for that. I will get an alignment and hopefully that resolves the issue. I sure don't want to chew through my tires. Thank you.

I did it the day before yesterday. drove the truck for 20 miles or so and it felt a tad off. and yes, the tires did wear very fast on the inside of the tire. that's entirely possible to do if the bearings were set improperly (which I don't think they were) or if the truck needs a front-end...

The wheels do not move at all when move up and down or side to side. I did use the fish scale for the 15 ft/lbs reading. Yes i did. To get the 15 ft/lbs reading.

That was the first time I have done it. The bearings were replaced and repacked roughly five years ago. That was my first hunch as well... Though I followed the FSM to a tee for setting the preload and there doesn't seem to be any drag on the tires... at least not that I can tell.

hello, i recently posted but the topic has slightly changed. I recently greased my front spindly bearings with the slee grease tool. I checked my preload while i was in there and set the bearing adjustment nut, tab, and lock nut by the FSM. I thought it all went relatively smooth until i...

UPDATE: i got the C clip back on! nice! driving it still feels a tad off...like there is resistance on that hub...maybe i need to recheck the preload after the lock nut was reinstalled...it could be a touch too tight.

I have not tried that yet. I will try that tomorrow when I attempt to fix this. If I can't manage to get the snap ring on when it worked perfectly fine before, then I'm going to take the knuckle off and examine the situation in the hunt for the obstruction/problem.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the cv pulled out far enough to get any c clip of any thickness on there. the grease seemed to pump the cv axle out of the knuckle far enough that now it's hard to get back in place.

Thanks for the response! I didn't touch the bearings at all so I'm not sure what load they have. My cruiser drove fine before I pumped grease into the hub bearings. is it possible to pump too much in there? I'm not sure what I did. I will try and thread a bolt on the end of the cv to see if I...

yes. yes, unfortunately i did do that. Only for a quick test drive in hopes somehow it would help seat my cv axle. desperate move...

Hello, Haven't posted in a while. I need help. I have a 1999 100 series. I used the Slee grease tool made to grease your knuckles spindle bearings and now I can't seat my cv axle enough to get the snap ring on the exterior of the flange cover. Also, there is a wobble felt when driving the...

I’m in Bozeman, Montana. The part was purchased for a 99 land cruiser
