I'll stop at Snappy's Sport Center on my way home tomorrow. Thank You...

Can anyone tell me where I can get a preload gage. OR, give a fail safe way to preload without one. Thank you. BTW, learning A LOT about my LX, while neck deep in the front end rebuild process. WOW, theses things are over-engineered! I'll try to post a few pics once I get the LCA off...doing...

Upon further review...I've decided to replace the ENTIRE front end... All 4 Control Arms, Axles, Inner & Outer Tie Rods, Wheel Bearings, Sway Bar Links(I think that's everything) - I don't want to take it apart again, at least for a looong time. Anyway, I've carefully shopped and bought all GOOD...

I've considered that also...past few years I've been REALLY disappointed with the lack of quality/longevity of replacement parts in general. Which is why I try to buy severe duty aftermarket parts when it makes sense(suspension/brakes/overall performance enhancement).

I CAINT STAIND CHINESE CRAP. Moog moved to China(I 4got). Thanks for the tip on Beck/Arnley. I'll be loking for them if i'm not able to use hi-perf stuff(Dobisons, etc).

What do yo need to do when you open the IMEX site, to get english version...

That has been my plan...replace entire assembly. By the time you buy BJs/Bushings, get 'em pressed in place.... Issues w/Moog? issues w/Moog?

Thank You!! for all your feedback. I appreciate it. The site: Parstsouq is awesome, tons of diagrams. I've found a couple sites that have inventory, not the Japanese-made stuff though - no inventory. I've decided to go with Moog,(cant find the Japanese-made arms). I hate taking stuff apart...

I can find one side, but not both. Where did you guys get them. -thanx

I'm replacing the UCAs(& CV Shafts, in/out tie-rods/boots, wheel bearings) on my '01 LX470, it has zero lift, no intentions of lifting it. I've been looking at various Control Arm manufacturers, can anyone suggest someone that is compatible with a zero lift LX470. Thanx in advance.

Hello to all here @ IH8MUD. My name is Rusty Suor. I live in Kalispell MT. In March my wife and I flew down to Newport Beach CA and bought our second Lexus, a 1-owner 2001 LX470. Normally I would not buy a vehicle of that age, except these things have an impeccable reputation, and being madly...

Please for give my ignorance on this and future line(s) of questioning, this whole 100 series is new to me... always been a GM guy(until I bought my LS430) My question is parts compatibility of parts with Land Cruiser/LX470. Specifically for the application of the front wheel bearings, are they...

I shoulda been more direct...was looking for tips in replacing it

The indicator light on the gear-selector lights in the dash does not come on when I put it in gear. The other lights work...just not the D/OD light

My name is Rusty. I'm new to your forum(it's nice). I've been looking for an LX470 for months. Recently I've come across two of them BOTH with rust along the roof line above the windshield on the drivers side. Is this a common issue, with certain years...possibly? Any help is greatly...
