Life is too short. Dive in! You still see em on the road, at least around these parts. And if the aftermarket is healthier more affordable, thats a win too! Might be a bit more project friendly too, with all the tariffs and shipping costs as well. I imagine domestically there are a lot of options.

The front of mine has a 'sag' as well like ops first photo -- what exactly is this 'rake' ? In the above pic -- did you adjust the torsion bars? and ahh i remember this pic from the fender flare thread...

Nice find, jealous of your spoiler. I want one, as pointless at it is! Welcome! -- the search function (After you click on this subform then search) Is like a lexicon of information with lots of folks setups...i remember drooling over this forum for years until I finally got one. Pics of 275 70...

im dealing with brittle plastic on a 00' its all so brittle.... -- if you can collect all the chunks / perhaps you can glue them all together / make a mold / 3d print / epoxy a replacement. OR salvage that from your previous pump? looks like it can come out -- good luck! Looking forward to any...

yes there is a part number for the knob. i swear I saw a solo one being sold once upon a time but; This forum says it has been discontinued -- but good luck with search. Lexuspartsnow.com has it but now im wondering how reliable they are...

This is why it was freely floating, shockingly, its not affixed to anything. Here are the findings, From the outside before i opened it up, i've always just had a bare steel rode (rotary encoder). Once I pulled it off, and turned it on its side, a loose washer fell out. I assume there was a nut...

Copy that. the car was sitting 5 years, so the AC hasn't been on since, or the heater. I was just worried i wouldn't be fully flushing the core, if the heater valve wasn't turned on for that step of the procedure. I was looking into if i can manually turn the valve on but it looks to be...

For future mudders: After searching all night its called a 'internal rotary encoder' doesn't seem sold separately as its connected to the circuit board directly. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rotary+encoder+switch&channelId=500&clpRedir=Y&plpRedirect=mhFallback&tag=ihco-20 Will update this...

I've purchased the soldering kit for the AC/HEAT buttons. However, those just are fixes for the buttons. When i was looking for just the knob part number, so i could affix a new knob, I noticed that the whole temperature knob assembly is loose, as in I can see the circuitry/microchip dangling...

Thank you for all the help. She cleaned up real nice with a claybar and some chemical bros wax. I'd imagine some better wax, maybe zaino bros or something would help out but. Just wanted to update. The Scuff/Sap texture seemed to have eaten into the clear coat so parts are definitely matte, but...

(nevermind)

Copy. Last night took it for a drive, there is a WHINE when fully engaged left/right. Like when you get the wheel fully engaged left, then theres a lil more room, to rotate wheel, that would cause the WHINE. not a squeal but a noise for sure. I also noticed that wheel, if I pushs up and down on...

There appears to be a physical hole on the rubber boot, it looks like 2 of them. Right above the metal clip in Pic 1. But like you're saying, steering rack leak is a problem -- and that would leak into the boot -- which has a hole in it, then leaks out? This might explain the bottles of power...

Thank you very much! So inner tie rod boot leak. Copy that.

Forgive me, I'm just getting started here. This looks to be the cv axle boot tear yes? This is a proper Mechanic job yes? One cant just simply throw a new cover over it. IF you zoom in you can see a couple of holes. This is Drivers side front. passenger isn't leaking. But i didn't check to...
