    (Issues) Steering Intermediate Shaft No. 2

    White lithium grease actually worked really well...too well, even. While I definitely feel the grittiness of the rust in the U-joints, there's almost no more resistance in steering. I've since been lazy to actually carry out the replacement. Thinking of tackling it in the next few days, so I'll...

    (Issues) Steering Intermediate Shaft No. 2

    Hi all. Need your expertise for someone who's familiar with the steering column and its parts. After having bought the LX with hardly any steering, these items were already addressed: • Leak from rack, replaced rack. • Flushed power steering with Toyota Dex fluid, twice. • Replaced PS Pump +...

    Loose Hand Brake Cable

    Forgot about this...I did buy service manual PDFs on eBay a few weeks back. Will post back if I find anything useful.

    Frame rust on 2004 LC

    For me, that isn't even near ugly enough to need replacing yet. Southern state owners laugh at us. lol

    Frame rust on 2004 LC

    If it took 18 years to get to this much rust, it'll last at least another 18-30 more years before there's any structural issues. Longer if you coat with a product like Blaster Surface Shield or similar. From your pictures, you have very light surface rust on the frame. Crossmember has more...

    Loose Hand Brake Cable

    (Sorry if answered before...I couldn't return any useful search results. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.) Hey Pros! Has anyone undergone and documented complete brake cable service/replacement? From the rear of the vehicle look forward, the cable reaching to either side of rear wheels are...

    What is this thing mounted to my windshield?

    Don't think so...the rain sensor is next to the triangular device in the pic. I'm guessing it's probably a gps antenna or remote start antenna.

    What is this thing mounted to my windshield?

    Could be anything aftermarket since it didn't come with the car. Sensor, antenna, security indicator, etc.

    01 LX470 AC Woes

    Sucks but at least you figured it out. Hope that's all you need to replace.

    Bulletproofing my 07, recommendations?

    I see brake lines mentioned a lot here...especially the areas tucked up and away. Bought mine about a month ago, still need to check mine.

    AC Issues LX470 - blinking AC "button"

    I can't remember if its starting the car with the buttons held or just turning the key to ON. Try both...the text display on your radio should show (maybe multiple) 2-digit error codes. You can look it up online what they mean. Also, if you get a $30-40 mini vci cable (obd2 to pc), you can use...

    AC Issues LX470 - blinking AC "button"

    Can you check for error codes and see what they are? I think it's holding the recirculation button and auto buttons while turning the car on. Have to search on here for exact buttons.

    Newbie here with an '05 LX470

    Over the last few days, I removed the bulk of the rust in the underbelly with 36 grit flap wheels and finally pressure washing all the dust off, which surprisingly removed a lot more flakes. Majority of the rust was surface and looked superficial except for the rear right sheet metal under the...

    Door checker issue?

    There's a thread on here addressing this. You need new door checks and a welded plate to support the new mechanism. Will find the thread... Edit: Here's one and and another

    Seatbelt Cleaner for dirty/stiff seat belts?

    Just did this yesterday! Didn't bother with soap and scrubbing and went straight to pressure washing. Retracts perfectly, soft and isn't nasty looking anymore...though I wonder if it could be cleaner now.

    Newbie here with an '05 LX470

    Got it. Upon a closer look... It looks like black oil and not grease. My brake fluid is clear so not that... Maybe the hydraulic shock is leaking. No surprise there but I'll look more to confirm later.

    Newbie here with an '05 LX470

    Started reading that big thread the other day but found it to be a little overwhelming. I've done just basic repairs and maintenance and electronics up until this point and haven't really been under the car or under the hood much. Last year I tackled my 05 LS430 timing belt successfully so...

    Newbie here with an '05 LX470

    I'm probably about 6600 in so far...I can't complain! Really wanted those headlights from bxbuild and almost pulled the trigger over labor day weekend but decided I better fix the more urgent stuff and timing belt job before going for aesthetics.

    Newbie here with an '05 LX470

    With suspected near non-existent maintenance, it could be anything I guess. The hum accompanied a slightly but just noticeable weaker acceleration for just a few seconds and only from a complete stop, accelerating hard. I couldn't reproduce it after the few times it did it so I'm second guessing...
