    Grrr when backing and turning wheel - CV Shaft?

    Hi All - Title describes it all. When I back out of my garage, I need to turn the wheel. When I do, I get a "grrrr" until I change the angle of the front tires or go forward. I can also get it going forward if turned to lock. I'm assuming this means I'm ready for new CV but how can I...

    Local Friends - Pls help me sort my 80 series geometry!

    Hello ONSC Friends - I'm jealous of hearing about how great everyone's 80 series handles great on the interstate, runs 90 mph with nary a wiggle, etc. I write to request some help with my 80 series geometry as I inherited much of it from the PO and need to sort it out! It tends to wander a...

    Suggestions for Family Scenic Road over Holiday

    Hi All - Daughters are both in town and would like to explore some back roads. We would probably take my LX570 as I'm not yet confident in my FZJ80 for longer drives. Would appreciate any suggestions on mild / moderate trail rides in the Boone / Asheville areas. I've seen posts about Old...

    "Thunk" from rear when stopping / letting off the brake

    Hi All - When I come to a stop and then release the brake to pull away from said stop, I get a "thunk" from the rear end and I can see the shifter move - like something is bound up in the driveline. If I very gently come to a stop and lighten up significantly on the brake as the rig comes to...

    LX570 Trashed Running Board - Part #'s or replacement ideas?

    Hi All - The wife had an encounter with a brick retaining wall in a parking lot and this is the result. I looked at the toyota / lexus parts sites and the schematics are super confusing in terms of what I need to replace / fix the damage. There seems to be a metal board that is wrapped in...

    Potential coolant consumption

    Hi All - When I bought my truck a couple of thousand miles ago, the overflow / reserve reservoir was completely empty. Since then, I have changed the water pump, etc. which meant replacing the coolant. In addition, I pulled the trans cooler lines when changing the starter which meant I got a...

    Truck "squats" at lights - AHC I'm assuming?

    Hi All - New to me 2011 LX570 that I've been working preventative maintenance on recently. It has developed a tendency to "squat" when coming to a complete stop at a stop light. The rear drops somewhat abruptly. I'm assuming this is AHC related? I did a code scan and got a code of "rear...

    RTH - Starter Terminal Broken?

    Hi All - I decided to tackle as PM the elusive starter motor replacement on my 570 this am. What a wrestling match! In any case, old starter is out, new one is bolted up. The terminal connector that activates the solenoid has become brittle and the retaining clip broke off... So work has...

    Hi All - New to me 2011 570 with 136K on the clock. Serviced at Lexus dealer exclusively so I have good service records - none of which indicate specifically that the belt has been changed. It has had all its scheduled services so not sure if that was changed at one of the "xxx,000 mile...

    Introductions - '03 LX

    Hi All - I decided to add to my Land Cruiser addiction this week with an '03 LX 470. I bought it from a good guy @Mark WV who was kind enough to meet me in VA to pick it up. I don't plan to build it as I have a couple of other rigs to hit the trails - this one is for towing, mall crawling and...

    Help an idiot - pulled dizzy without marking

    All - I'm an idiot... I admit it. I was in a hurry last afternoon and pulled my distributor without marking the position of the rotor (I did mark for distributor body position on the block). How can I get it back in without pulling the valve cover to verify TDC, etc.? Thanks!
