    Fine vibration in the front end under load, on throttle from 55-75. Smooth at 80. Out of ideas...

    can't thank you enough for the response... I'm glad to see you mention the tires as that was also a huge vibration as well. About 2 weeks ago I had them road force balanced and wow what a difference. Dead smooth now off throttle at any speed. (I just learned about "road force" balancing). I...

    this is my main concern... Its just not "as" common of a job on 100-series cruisers so I would want to make sure that's the issue before i rip out the diff. Seems like more people would have this issue.

    all four u joints are brand new toyota. rear control arms have never been touched, vibration is coming from front end though. i remember someone else having a similar issue and it was wheel bearing related but mine are brand new and torqued correctly (with correct preload etc).

    1999 LX steering wheel suddenly crooked...

    100% exactly what happened. I tried and tried to get the wheel back off the splines before giving up and taking the wheel off entirely to just re-striaghten it on the splines toward the airbag...wheel is better now but still slightly off. The truck needed a fresh alignment anyway so I'm just...

    1999 LX steering wheel suddenly crooked...

    I replaced the steering column side bushings this afternoon (wiggly steering wheel). I get the two torx bolts out and the steering wheel drops down and when I get everything back together the wheel isn't straight anymore. Maybe 30 degrees off center suddenly. Is it possible that the steering...

    LX Owners = BMW owners?

    i spent more money deleting the garbage, failing hydraulic AHC and replacing with a lift than i would have maintaining it. by far. just preference. has little to do with being cheap and everything to do with wanting to take a newer land cruiser and making it more traditional. lamborghini owner...

    Removing the entire dashboard from a 100-series.

    its being traded for the tan interior. if this deal with my current guy falls through I'm very interested in doing the swap. my interior is 8/10 and oddly clean. Dash pad is the challenge.
