what would that be rubbing againts? The tire? Driveshaft(btw this 80 series is not full time so the front drive shaft is not locked and wheel hubs are free)? Like i said before the sound is mostly compared to something that spins fast and hit something metalic

I don't think it has anything to do with the corners or steering, when I say the noise happens when taking corners i mean on mountain roads going about 40 mph and when I take the corner the weight of the vehicle shifts and the suspension compresses on the right side thats when the sound appears...

Recently, I went on a roadtrip(on paved roads) with six people in the car, each weighing around 85 kg. On the way there, everything was fine, but on the way back, I noticed a new noise when hitting corners or bumps. It sounds like a sharp, clanging or clattering noise, almost like metal hitting...

To be honest I took it to a couple of transmission shops but the general concense was the same, "If it runs but its slightly rough shifting then its not worth opening up, its like opening a pandoras box". At the end of the day one of them took some time to adjust the shift cable correctly and...

It is exactly that... uphill versus flat issue, if I floor it in flat ground the car behaves just fine and doesn't lack power or struggle to get RPMs. But lets say its a medium incline road, I would problably have to drop it into 1st gear since 2 gear starts loosing rpms easily

By By that I mean if 1 put it in 1, 2 or 3 and hold the gear it will rev up to red line, not too fast but it gets there

yeap in flat ground it has no problem revving up to red line

I don't think so, recently I took it to an exhaust shop to repair an exhaust leak but I didn't see any dents

I heard that before but the 93 model doesn't have catalytic converters

4.5L 1FZ and A442f transmission

No, no check engine light, did the paper clip thing and no error code showed up. No recent work around there but that doesn't mean the problem wasn´t there before. I have always noticed low power going uphill but the problem became more evident on this particular hill. I have replaced the MAF...

Hi everyone, recently I was driving my 93' 80 series and I had to go up a pretty steephill so I put it in 1st gear and I noticed it was not getting any throtle response even after flooring it. The rpms just slowly went to 2000 -1900 RPM and stayed there the whole way. When I rev it in neutral it...

I had a similar issue with RPMs all over the place and a miss firing engine. Replaced MAF sensor and the issue persisted. It ended up being burned cooper leads on the ECU. You may want to open it up and see if it's ok.

Hi everyone, Some background on the car. Recently I bought an 80 series Land cruiser with a couple of issues mostly electrical. The first problem was the 1fz engine was having trouble holding idle which ended up being an issue with the ECU having burned leads. Now the issue I am trying to fix...
