    TIE ROD & DRAG LINK ENDS SEIZED...

    I could use a little helpful input here, as I'm quickly exhausting my bag of tricks. Here's the breakdown: O.K., the entire steering linkage is sitting on the work bench, the linkage tube is secured ("blue-torqued") in the vise, all of the ends have been doused repeatedly with Liquid Wrench for...

    Pitman Arm & Suspension Lift....

    had a question as I was replacing my tie rod/drag link ends: would a modified Pitman arm with a dropped arm be helpful in reducing some of the wear & tear to my linkage parts by returning the geometry of the linkage back the factory angles, correcting for the increased angles that resulted from...

    Steering rebuild...Going In, Any Tips?

    well I finally broke down and had to order parts.....truck became too much of a handful of late, the steering being looser than a 2$ hoe :-X :beer: before I get greasy, anyone have any sage advice, tips, must have tool list (aside from :beer:), etc...? I'm dropping a rebuilt P/S gear box in...

    BAD VIBES....MAJOR BAD VIBES....

    New problem: I've got a big vibration being transmitted through the gear shift lever and underfoot when the motor and drivetrain are under load. It goes away if I depress the clutch and reappears as soon as I re-engage. Are my U-Joints toast? Driveshaft????? Second problem: steering wheel has...

    Front End Problems?

    Here's one for all the trouble shooters out there: I'm trying to diagnose a sound coming from my front end that occurs only when I hit a good sized bump in the road or a series of bumps (speed bumps, potholes, etc...). Best way to describe it is that it sounds something like a rattle or knock...

    60 Series door wire grommets/loom

    All of the parts you seek are available through Toyota, however, they are all sold as integrated pieces of wiring harnesses, not as stand alone items. The existing front door wire grommets with the bellows feature should stretch to accomodate your wiring but you might need to seal it with some...

    Fender Flares for a '60?

    Has anyone purchased, installed, or seen firsthand the FJ60 Duraflare fender flares (see below) sold by Spectre Off-Road? Are these any good or just a worthless pile of poo? Thanks for the input, -dogboy- '87 FJ60

    Noisy Front Driveline

    O.K. Gurus, here's one for you that I just discovered while playing in the snow yesterday: While moving forward with 4WD engaged and no load placed on the motor (i.e. coasting/foot off the gas), the front driveline makes a bad vibrating type of noise. It does not make the noise as soon as I get...

    Clunking Springs....

    O.K., the new OME suspension has been on for a few months now and I've got this "clunking" sound that is getting more pronounced coming from the front springs when I turn the wheel to the left and right. It's done it since I installed the springs but, it is getting louder and occuring more...

    Tempermental Horn....

    My horn is possessed! O.K., maybe not but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've pulled the steering wheel cover and cleaned all of the button contacts with emery cloth but the stupid thing still has a mind of it's own. When it's working, it will only sound when the wheel is turned to...

    diesel conversion in a '60?

    got a wild hair about converting the 2F in our '60 to a diesel or a turbo diesel: anyone have any ideas about what kind of diesel motor will fit into the engine bay and what else is involved in doing this? is this even possible, or am i smokin' crack here? we've got a Canadian HF-55 5-speed...

    Speedometer/Odometer Calibration

    I've just upgraded to bigger treads with the new suspension (33x10.5xR15 vs. stock 235/75/R15) which has predictably changed the accuracy of the speedo and odometer. Does anyone know if you can replace the sprocket on the speedo/odo cable to reflect the change in tire diameter so that both...

    ALIGNMENT?

    Do I need to have an alignment done on my rig now that the new suspension is on or do I simply just need to re-center my steering wheel? I've been advised both ways and am looking for concensus here. Can't imagine that I would have changed the caster/camber/toe-in & out simply by changing out...

    steering "clunk"

    Just finished installing the new suspension and now have a very pronounced "CLUNK" sound when turning the wheels lock-to-lock. It was noticeable before the new lift, but I thought it was the old springs shifting in their plates/shackles/???. Now that the steering geometry has changed, the...

    Power Steering Gear Box...

    Does anyone have any experience with a rebuilt Man-A-Fre power steering gear box for an FJ60? Ours is leaking like a sieve and the $1500.00 - $2000.00 for a replacement Toyota part has dropped our jaws to the floor. Certainly the $350.00 Man-A-Fre rebuild is more appealing and doable. Anyone...
