    Sagging doors - to jack, or not to jack.

    So.. my front doors have always been hanging a bit low. I can see that the pins are worn, and I've adjusted them to the max, but I'm feeling like even a new set of pins will not close the void at the top. Its as though the door and the hole are a different shape. My HJ45 was converted from new...

    Trusted alignment shops

    Happy Sunday!!! Where is everyone taking their 80 series to get the alignment checked? I am having a wear issue on my front tires and want to make sure the toe is adjusted correctly and see how far caster and camber is out. I am wearing the outside of the front tires. Thanks in advance.

    Steering refresh, at what point do I take it in for an alignment?

    replaced the tie rods, linkages and dampener, and counted threads to get a rough alignment. Going to 1. Add caster wedge (Just waiting the rest of my ubolts from CruiserTeq, they only shipped me 2 instead of 8, one front, one rear.) 2. Replace spring bushings, 3. Rebuild Knuckle. (Probably a...

    Bump steer, Torque steer, break steer, generally difficult to point where I want to go.

    I bought a pre lifted fj60, it's on 33s and there seems to be plenty of room, so a 2" or 3" lift. The PO has proven to make some odd decisions, so it may have not been aligned/shimmed after the lift. When on a bump or rutted road, have to work pretty hard to keep it going straight and on the...

    Alignment For Stock LX570

    The truck is pulling to the right after getting the upper and lower control arms changed (OEM) and aligned. The truck is stock aside from a set of 33 inch Michelin ltx at2’s. I took it back to the shop after taking delivery of it due to the truck drifting to the right. I read in other threads...

    Stupid alignment adjustment question

    So I pulled off my BP51 front struts last night so I can send them in for rebuild and I replaced them temporarily with the OEM struts. In the process I seem to have messed up the caster of the passenger front wheel and now has a rub on the rocker when turning right. I'm not sure which of the...

    Trick for aligning KDSS link

    Replacing struts. Can’t get the KDSS link arm bushing hole to align. Do I need to put it on the ground to do this? Should I loosen the KDSS bar mounting bolts?

    panhard adjustment and the proper way to measure the offset

    I've had EFS single-nut adjustable panhards on the 80 from way back. Today to temporarily sort out the punctured rear tyre issue while I get a repair kit I took two of the three Toyota factory 16 x 8 wheels with the 285/75-r16's off my box trailer (I only have three of them) with Chinese...

    T100 Bent Frame?

    Hey guys, I was just looking at my alignment and I pulled the ol' string method to see what the tow and camber looked like. It appears that the frame is bent, but before I get bent out of shape I wanted to see if anyone has some useful input for me. I've had this thing aligned several times over...

    Steering Rack too off center for alignment

    I just got my 03 LX a couple weeks ago and knew when I bought it I would have to get an alignment. They had to recenter the rack because the TREs were maxed out. I assumed this was the original rack but maybe it was replaced. The PO didn't mention it and there was no record but it does have...

    FJ40 hood, bib and fender alignment

    My 40 is a mishmash of various model year parts. I'm running a split hood, an old style bib with parking lights somewhat newer fenders and skirts. The cowl is either a 76 or 78 model year, the frame is a 78. I'm having an issue with the standing seam on the front inside edge of the hood rubbing...

    Does AHC height affect camber?

    I've observed slight changes to camber depending on my 2009 LX's ride height. No sensor adjustments - all stock. I didn't see this point pop up in the other alignment threads. In Low Mode and 'highway low,' I've observed slight negative camber. IE, the top of the wheel tucks in toward the...

    Squeaky wheels, wheel a bit of the center.

    Guys, I’m lost. I’m trying to fix this problem since long time. Car has a lift 2”. I’ve changed bearings, all loose suspension elements. I’ve did wheel alignment maybe 3-4 times, it’s fine. My steering wheel sometimes it’s a bit off the center, sometimes it’s okay. Tires are squeaking badly on...
