    Front End "Thunk" 1990 FJ62

    Thanks. I will start with tightening everything up to spec and inspecting tie rods.....really hoping i don't have a broken leaf. That seems like a miserable job.

    Front End "Thunk" 1990 FJ62

    Thanks for the replies. Generally in line with what I have been thinking. Looks like tie rod end work is staight forward. Bushing kits look cheap...any knowledge on how involved replacing bushings would be? I would imagine they are corroded to s***.

    Front End "Thunk" 1990 FJ62

    Hi All, Started getting a "thunk"/"knock" when turning left while simultaneously going over a bump. Sometimes it does it going straight going over a large rut/bump at speed. I have not had a chance to get under the truck to take a look but I figured, as always, there is usually a "most common"...

    Anyone know the P/N for seal between transmission and transfer?

    Hey bud, I had this same issue. There is no part number, and most places will only sell it to you as a gasket kit. I called the guys at TLC4x4.com and they knew exactly what I was looking for. I think they shipped it to me for $15.

    FJ62 4Lo shifter stuck in place

    Hey, 4 Hi engages fine via button on dash. 4 low shifter seems to be stuck in place, I am afraid to force it and severely damage something. Can not engage 4 low. Have not had time to get in there and look around. Figured it was worth reaching out to see if this is a common issue before I start...

    Help finding Transmission output shaft seal!

    Negative, it's the seal coming out of the tranny, not the input for the transfer case. TLC hooked it up....$11

    Help finding Transmission output shaft seal!

    They only sell the kit which includes all seals for the tranny and is $300. The single seal should be about $10. I think TLC is gonna help me out

    Help finding Transmission output shaft seal!

    Hey all, I have a blown transmission output shaft seal. I am pushing ATF into my transfer case and need to replace the seal. Should be a $20-$30 part but I can only find complete rebuild kits. Any leads or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    In the tranny....gear oil in the transfer case. ATF is a detergent and will break down the gear oil. s*** will tear up your transfer case

    So, turns out ATF was clean, no metal shavings....I was down 2 quarts of fluid however, no obvious leak. This appears to have been caused by a blown output shaft seal which was pushing ATF into the Transfer case....no bueno. Drained both ATF and Gear oil from Transfer case, replacing seal and...

    All, I am beginning to have some issues with engaging D and R when cold. Nothing drastic, but every now and then there is a hesitation before the gear catches. I am driving a 1990 FJ62 with 148k on the stock tranny. I am doing an ATF drain and fill this week, but have been researching other...

    FJ62 Fuel Smell in cabin after sitting...any ideas?

    Havent had a chance to check out the hardline yet, but I suspect that may be the culprit. If it is rusted out or plugged, is there any reason it cant be clipped and replaced with a soft line?

    FJ62 Fuel Smell in cabin after sitting...any ideas?

    I will check the fuel neck, but upon first examination it looked brand new. I'm thinking about having a smoke test done, is this worth it? Would it even work for this particular case, assuming it is the charcoal canister?

    FJ62 Fuel Smell in cabin after sitting...any ideas?

    So I am having what appears to be a pretty common issue with my FJ62. When the truck is parked a fuel odor builds up in the cabin. I cant seem to find the source. Whats interesting is, as soon as I start it, whether I drive anywhere or not, the smell clears out. I pulled the passenger side...
