This thread is a direct spinoff from this thread; I noticed the fan stopped working after this "fix" to the issue of the thread was carried out. Not sure if that "fix" is the direct cause but it's the only change on the car before this happened. Doesn't really mean much but good to point out I...
2004 LX470
Was going out on a trip and the car abruptly stopped while I was slowing down for a speed bump. Car refuses to start. Oil level and pressure is ok. Coolant is ok, no overheating. Battery is at 14 volts. Two nights ago it did this but the the three times that it did (engine shuts off...
So for the past few months (since circa February), the rear right (passenger side) tire has been giving me massive grief. Unbeknownst to me, two of the four clips (the ones that sit between the caliper and the brake pad) that hold the brake pad in place and prevent them from falling out when...
Title is quite self-explanatory. I have no idea what caused this issue or when it started. Was able to get a video comparing the driver side mirror (which snaps in place correctly) to the passenger side mirror which doesn't snap in place.
I've done some googling but can't seem to find any situation correlating to mine. I mashed the horn a bit too hard in a flash of (road) rage when some clown was making an illegal stop at a U-turn and now the horn button (the steering wheel cover) is stuck down at the upper and lower left...
Just as the title says, when I turn the wheel all the way to right lock, the inside edge of the driver side rim rubs badly on the outer tie rod. Pic attached. Worth noting that the bearings inside the driver side CV Axle are shot and make a constant, very audible popping, knocking sound (yes...
TL; DR at the end but please read the whole story because TL;DR doesn't cover it well.
I think this is the car's retribution for installing used and/or refurbished parts on it. This is a spin-off from another issue i'm having: New year, new problems. 2004 LX470 is a rolling pogo stick. -...
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I am quite a noob at searching on this site. I figured that there isn't (or hopefully there shouldn't be) a "guess, check, and revise," method for figuring out which snap ring fits on a CV Axle. The time has come to replace the CV Axle with a new OEM one...
It finally happened guys, I'm almost certain that the two front AHC Globes have s*** themselves and imploded and fluid is flowing unrestricted into the 2 front shock absorbers. Every bump in the road turns the entire front end of the car into a vibrator and getting out of the driver's seat after...
As per the usual arrangement, of course I can't have any peace during christmas. Coming back 2 nights ago from christmas shopping with the family, front A/C on, rear A/C on, high beams on, horn working, and then suddenly the car starts the dreaded "low voltage" beeping, center console TV starts...
Replaced the passenger side fog light bulb some weeks ago. Also took apart the housing to get gunk out of it. The housing seems to have a leak that lets in water and humidity. In the mornings you show up to the car and there's dew on the inside of the housing. I don't know if I messed up the...
Posting here has become a ritual of sorts at this point. 2004 Lexus LX470 is the car in question.
So, if you've been following my past few threads, then you'll know I just finished replacing front driver side CV axle with a used one. Well I didn't buy a new c-clip and apparently the C-clip is a...
So the ABS sensor on the driver side wheel is sticking out of the hole it goes into by about 1 cm. I recently did bearings and CV axle and that meant removing rotor, dust shield and the ABS sensor in question. When putting it back, I think I messed up by putting the oil seal for the dust shield...
2004 Lexus LX470. I'm a retard and was in a hurry to put back the power steering pressure feed tube that goes from the PS pump to the steering rack, instead of undoing the fasteners holding the tube, I tried to wing it and screw in the banjo bolt that holds down the gasket and tube to the...
So, I've just recently taken apart (most of) the driver side suspension/wheel well vicinity and I'm trying to clean up the spindle, steering knuckle, control arms, and caliper before the new parts arrive for installation, problem is I'm not sure what to use on what part. In the picture below...
I've spent at least 6 hours total whacking, lubing, and whacking the driver side tie rod end and it's just too stuck. I turned the castle nut upside down, threaded it back on till it was flush with the bolt and whacked so much that the nut went from a 22mm nut to 23mm nut lol. I also whacked the...
Posting these is becoming a fun ritual lmao. '04 LX470; took a closer look at the driver side CV axle and I can actually move it with my hand lol. Take a look at the pics and the vid. Is it safe to drive? I showed my dad the extensive damage and we'll try to get a used/refurbished CV axle (and...
So originally, my parents and I knew their (my parents') LX to be highly fuel efficient. Like i'm talking maybe 13-16 mpg on varying terrain and driving patterns. We'd start a trip on a full tank and 6 hours in (high speeding, abrupt acceleration and braking, generally rough/track driving) we'd...
Note: This will only work if your wiper fluid pump is working so yeah.
So the washer sprayers mounted on the car hood crapped out some years back. Each spray mount (there are 2 spray mounts) has 2 holes that jet out water onto the windshield. 3 out of the 4 holes were clogged with idk what and...
Got a 2004 Lexus LX470. Few weeks ago I got the AHC to function for the first time in like 10 years by replacing the 20amp AHC-IG fuse that was missing. The car went from empty shocks and bumpy ride straight to N position and is holding at N position, it drives fine, doesn't feel like a pogo...
