    lx570 rear shocks leaking?

    I am now at 165k and have not replaced mine. They look about the same as your pictures. I flushed my ahc fluid and just kept an eye on the level. Haven't noticed any loss really. Based on the threads here - replacing the globes seems to have more impact on overall performance than replacing...

    brakes grinding help

    Sorry, I figured out my problem after some testing. The rotor wasn't seating correctly even after torquing on the wheel a couple times. It was just out of round enough to rub. Once I got it seated no more problem. My dust shields looked good. I been spraying them with fluid films for a...

    brakes grinding help

    I replaced the pads and rotors all the way around. I also replaced the rear calipers since the right side was frozen. Bled the brakes with all new fluid. Now, I have a new scraping issue on the left rear. I am pretty sure it's the parking shoes scraping. I pulled it apart and there was a...

    brakes grinding help

    Does anyone know if you can buy a completely assembled caliper from anywhere? The cylinder is completely frozen on mine. The pins still slide ok, but I can't get he piston to move which I am sure was my problem. It was covered in a lot of gunk from my dirt roads/winter etc.

    brakes grinding help

    I figured it out. Seems like the rear caliper is stuck or something. It completely shredded the pads on the rear passenger side.

    brakes grinding help

    My lx started having a weird brake grinding in the front. Almost feels like they are not grabbing just when your coming to the final stop. At higher speeds there is no noticeable change. I assumed my brakes needed serviced and quickly ordered pads/rotors from my local dealership. We are of...

    AHC Sensor lift without equalizing pressures via TechStream

    I could not get mine level either. It looks level if your looking at it, but measuring it was driving me crazy too. I threw in the towel and just went for more height.

    2013 LX Console Options

    There is another thread that shows how to put a small bolt through the flipper. Has not broke since doing that and of course kids still kick it.

    Shudder/Hesitation in Powertrain - Toyota & Dealership Say...

    I have this issue also on my 08 lx with 150k It feels like driveline slack to me and occurs most often on inclines. I have it happen often when offroad in 4-lo climbing up. On road it only happens occasionally. It's my only concern with the truck and have been really worried that it might be...

    Inner and Outer tie rods

    Replaced mine because they were rusted tight and couldn't get an alignment. Check with cruiseroutfitters they have a kit with everything you need.

    protecting from winter

    $44 on amazon for a gallon. It's worth buying the spraying kit though which was about $100. It's way easier and more effective then rattle can.

    protecting from winter

    My lx gets a lot of abuse during winter. I can't get it home without being covered in snow, ice, salt, mag cl. It sits like that in my garage every day. Last couple years I have been using nu finish on the paint and fluid film on the underside. Fluid film is some amazing stuff if you can get...

    Builds The Guzzler - 2009 LX570

    Just read this and having the same issue recently. From the ground to wheel well mine is always .25-.5 inches different and can't get it to be perfect no matter what. If I measure from the top of the tire all sides appear to be exactly the same. Haven't been able to figure out why it won't...

    Transmission delayed engagement

    My LX does this to at times. I did a complete flush of the fluid and changed the filter and it still does this. It also clunks pretty bad when it's cold out into reverse, but based on what others have said this seems to be a common issue. I have been trying to ignore it.

    Squeaky steering wheel

    My lx was squeaking when it retracted and was driving me crazy. I fixed it by just putting a light lubricant on the plastic surface of the steering column. Can't even remember what I used, but it worked. The plastic must have been rubbing causing the squeaking.

    Events/Trails Road trip suggestions?

    I would agree with the recommendation to head to the Canadian rockies. Best trip would be to do Glacier then drive to Sandpoint, ID and then up highway 95 to Radium and then to Banff and up to Jasper. Try to fit in time in Canada's Glacier, Yoho, Banff and Jasper parks. It's absolutely...

    Bolt head front axle drain plug?

    I wonder if they are not over torquing it, but other issues are at play here. I say that because I had a piece of stock welded on and then the shop broke it loose with a huge wrench. They left it loose so I could drive home and change it. By the time I got home it was seriously stuck...

    Great day to pick up this deal.

    I have bought three sets in the last year or so, 2x$600 and 1x$400. I did this by simply setting up craigslist alerts and being willing to drive which adds to the cost a bit. I am using them for my summer and winters w/spares. I had two extra which I sold to mud members at cost for their...

    2011 LC steering wheel column squeak

    My LX started doing this when it retracts in after you shut the vehicle off. Was waiting for it to warm up to look at it, but just seems like it's rubbing on something as it goes in. The noise is pretty irritating
