I don't think that driveshaft orientation changed across the 100 Series. I believe the 80 Series had different phasing, but orientation of the slip yoke shouldn't matter -- but for me I have it like the diagram and that helped eliminate the intensity / frequency of some of my highway vibes. The...

Correct, OEM shafts from Toyota, brand-new. I was experimenting with the orientation of the driveshafts and how they affected that vibration at highway speeds that I was trying to get rid of -- I knew it was speed dependent and had nothing to do with any specific gear that I was in -- neutral...

FWIW, what worked for me was re-indexing the front drive shaft (prop shaft) by 1 spline. I find that this drivetrain is super finicky when it comes to vibrations. I also made sure to properly lube the prop shaft splines by hand, when I had them on the workbench -- even though they were...

That's great to hear @abuck99 !! Well then, I'll just hold off on replacing it until I get an airbag light or the SWC's stop working. Maybe I'll spray some silicone lube in there to quiet down the cable spooling noise.

Hey @abuck99 , any updates on this? Did your clock spring eventually fail? I also have the exact same sound coming from inside my steering wheel. It sounds like wires rubbing against plastic when turning the wheel. It was like that when I bought the truck and I've been living with it for about...

Just finished the job and am very pleased with the results. I failed to mention that I have a Uhaul trailer hitch (previous owner) so that adds some extra weight to the rear (~40lbs). Also worth mentioning, I always ride w/ 3rd row seats installed and carry a large duffle bag w/ tools & gear...

My stock (no armor, 1" sensor lift) 05 LX470 w/ AHC is on its original rear coil springs. The AHC works flawlessly -- 4 new globes, new AHC fluid -- both front and rear pressures in spec. To get the rear pressure in spec I had to install 30mm spacers. After riding around with those spacers for...

@Super77 Perhaps air brake -- or perhaps a rudder for steering in deep water.

Please forgive me if this topic has already been covered. I tried searching the forums for "Toyota face ripper" and nothing came up. I probably spend more time underneath the 100 (LX470) than inside of it and I'm always getting scratched up by this sharp plate (see image below). My guess is...

Just finished this job today. Replaced the motor mounts + transmission mount my new to me 2005 LX470. Cracked the heater tee on the driver's side whilst jacking up from the bell housing. I guess that's expected after 214k miles. So yeah, replacing the heater tee's tomorrow :) and then back to...
