That's exactly where mine started leaking. I replaced with a Mishimoto.

I think my plan for now is to try Helicoil as a repair..since the Force is lateral on that bolt I feel like that will be a safe and fairly inexpensive option. I agree that Time-Sert is a stronger option but for the price I can just find a used knuckle. Thank you all for the feedback, I was...

Thanks for the reply and reassurance. That is the direction I was going. I just wanted to make sure

I was putting the last bolt in my caliper and discovered that the threads on the top hole of the steering knuckle are stripped..the bolt just keeps spinning. Any suggestions? Am I screwed? Do I just need to find a new steering knuckle? Has anyone used a Helicoil insert for this application...

I am in the middle of doing the knuckles on my 1989 FJ62. I am stuck on getting the oil seal into the hub. I cannot for the life of me get it to slide in. The edge of the hub looks damaged to me, like someone has it it with a hammer at some point. I am using a brass drift and trying to get the...

What suspension did you end up installing? I'm between OME and Ironman for my 1989 FJ62. From what I've seen people say the OME with Bilstein Shocks is a good setup, the price of the Ironman has me intrigued.

Was this difficult? My cable just broke as I was driving home. I ordered a new one on ToyotaPartsDeal.com it should be here in a few days. I plan on replacing it myself. Looking for any pointers possible.

Thank you for all of this.

I guess I need to get one of those. I usually order my parts online so part numbers help inorder to receive the correct items. Thank you though. I'll have to find myself a Toyota professional.

Do you happen to know the part numbers?

I was under my FJ62 the other day and saw how the rubber fuel line hose is getting old. Does anyone know what size hose and how much to purchase inorder to replace all the rubber bits? It's a 1989 FJ62.

Yes, correct. Sorry I should have been more specific. 1989 Fj62

I failed my emissions test here in California. It was suggested that I change it my oxygen sensors along with several other ideas. As far as I can tell there are two and they are the same item. Can anyone confirm this for me? I ordered 2 Denso 234-4056 Oxygen Sensors. Just hoping I got the right...

Any chance the nut on the pulley is counter threaded? I just spent all day trying to get it off. Left it soaking in penetrating liquid for now.
