    Welp, not relevant

    My 2019 LC with 80k miles recently started having ride and handling issues. It feels unsettled in the rear over bumps and uneven pavement and its cornering (while never a sports car) started feeling abysmal. Edit: what I thought was a KDSS leak was evap from the rear A/C.

    Steering Issue

    Short answer is no. The dealer kept it for 3 days and concluded that it was "fine". At least they only charged me $99. I'd be interested to hear if you do the sector shaft and have an improvement. If you do, please keep us posted. At this point, I'm just doing my best to ignore it.

    Steering Issue

    I’ve had CarMax align it once, a local tire shop once, and the same dealer 4x. We discussed road crown on the last time it went in for a free tweak at the dealer. This dealer is affiliated with a reputable local off-road shop and does lots of LCs with and without lifts. I tried the tire...

    Steering Issue

    Thanks so much and that does make sense. Maybe the reason I'm noticing the issue is because I'm driving up to ski country in the winter and rarely in the summer. I can drive my 60s and 70s Mopars around with laughably out of spec alignments without a care in the world, but for some reason it...

    Steering Issue

    Cool! I'll differentiate between the "pulling" and "drooping" point. The car does "pull" a tiny but in the left lane versus the center and right lanes when the wheel is pointed straight ahead (top of wheel at 12 o'clock). It is worse up on 93 way up in NH than on 128. The "drooping" thing...

    Steering Issue

    We do have pretty crowned roads, especially up North, but I'd never had this issue on my 2021 that had the same use case. I think the alignments are part of the issue, but something just seems "off" with the steering feel too.

    Steering Issue

    I'm in Boston and do weekly commutes back and forth to Northern NH. We get lots of potholes and ice heaves, but usually that happens after the truck gets out of whack. The car originally was in SoCal from 2019-2023 before I bought it. Based on some things I observed (missing roof rack, spare...

    Steering Issue

    Completely stock as mentioned. Until early December I ran stock tires at 33-35 PSI. Last month I put on new LT 275/70/18 winter tires (Hakkapelittas) on stock rims, run those at 40 psi. I keep an inflator in the truck and am somewhat OCD about tire pressures. The issue was the same with the...

    Steering Issue

    Looking for suggestions on what might be wrong with my 2019 LC. Truck is completely stock with 73k miles. I bought it 2 years ago with 50k miles. This is my second 200 series (had a 2021 LC that I sold with approx. 40k miles before this). Ever since I've had the current 2019 LC, there's...

    Missing Roof Rack - Potential for Water Leak?

    Not too late. I immediately taped over the holes so no more water. There also was silicone around the holes that created a ridge, so I can’t imagine too much got in anyway. I pulled the sill trim myself and it was absolutely bone dry. Similarly, no water inside and headliner etc all seems...

    Missing Roof Rack - Potential for Water Leak?

    Thanks for flagging this. I assume the prior owner took off a different rack and didn’t bother to put back on the OEM one, but I didn’t realize these bolt holes went through to the headliner. The car was shipped from CA to MA via an open transport for two weeks, so god only knows what got in...

    Missing Roof Rack - Potential for Water Leak?

    Yikes!! Thanks for the heads up. I don't know how long it's been like this so am now leaning towards returning it and trying again.

    Missing Roof Rack - Potential for Water Leak?

    Bought a 2021 Land Cruiser brand new and made the mistake of letting it go this summer Fast forward 6 months, and I picked up a 2019 with 50K miles that has spent its whole life in Southern California via CarMax. Truck was in great shape (especially underneath). Unfortunately, I somehow...
