front end

2001 Landcruiser 280k 2.5 Ironman lift with Freedom Upper control arms. Out of blue heard some louder clunking sound come from front end , mainly only when under power. Took to local shop and they were confident CV axles. Replaced for $600 and now similar sound, but quieter still there making...

So I have a JDM 95 Hilux LN107 double cab, super short bed. But started as a fire truck. So I have been looking for past year to import a bed from overseas. It naturally is a challenge but I have one lead. The one I've found overseas is complete but needs some body work. I have a shipping...

1982 4wd pickup OME lift. What are some common front end issues that you can feel and it doesnt take much movement to make the noise. U bolts are tight bushings are good in the springs and the steering stabilizer. Doesnt look like the torque bar has issues but not ruling it out either. I dont...

Good evening: I'm trying to diagnose a front-end problem with my '78 FJ40 and am looking for some advice from those with more experience and know-how than I possess. i apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I figure the more information I give the better. Was driving to work the...

My truck was in an accident last with with front end damage and my insurance company want to total it and value it at $6700. Looking for advice on how to proceed and if my thinking is correct. Feel free to dive into my ADHD story or ignore it! I have dug around the site for a week and found...

Hey yall, i just went back and watched some wheeling footage from this weekend and what I noticed has me concerned. For the longest time when I’m seriously flexed out I hear a pop noise from my front end. I always figured this was just a bushing getting bound up at full flex but after seeing...

Need Yo Opinion - NYO Bull Bar is Bright Aluminum and Headlight Trim (I hate the damn things) are Chrome. Do I powdercoat the Bull Bar Black and paint the chrome Black? Powdercoat the Bull Bar Black and leave the plastic tacky chrome? I wish there was a headlight option without the groove...

120k 2014 GX460 all stock. Over the last 20k miles I have developed what I personally know as "Toyota truck s***ty front end syndrome". I don't know if there really is a universal syndrome, but I do know that I have observed similar symptoms on various 4runners, Tacomas, and now my GX. It...

Long time lurker here. 99 with 303k miles. Running an Ironman stage 2 lift with the diff drop, KO2 285s. I have a hum or could even call it a growl that’s most noticeable at 40mph+. Becomes higher pitched with increased speed, and lower pitch/ louder during deceleration. Braking has no affect...

I am looking to refresh my sons 100 series LC with 285k miles, at least the front end. The OEM parts are really expensive, and if I have to go that route I will but with 2 kids in college it would be nice if I did not have to spend a small fortune. Are there any reputable aftermarket suppliers...

Hello all! Happy to finally be a part of the 100 series life. Looking to buy a cashmere beige metallic passenger side fender, headlight trim, as well as the trim under the grille. Also looking for OEM glass headlights for the passenger side in good condition as well as an oem corner light...

I've had a time getting some new front end noise dignosed after a "friend" put on new struts to replace the 10 year old ones on my wife's Honda Odyssey. I've struck out twice with what I thought were decent shops, but am looking to get the mud hive mind experience if possible for reputable...

I’m looking at this as a potential purchase, seller has been pretty open about everything, it was in this accident last year, declared total loss, then bought at auction by current seller. Runs and drives, no airbag deployed. Has around 170k. Doesn’t appear to be any frame damage, I would...

Hi all - first time posting, hope it can be of some help (searching for this issue turned up nothing). Front end collapsed on my 00 LX this week: no lights, error codes, just suddenly felt like every Land Rover / Navigator on air springs, riding on the bump stops (spine shatteringly poor ride...

Howdy, I've had a pesky pop in the front end for a while now and can't seem to track it down. I have eliminated ALOT of possibilities but can't find the culprit. The scenario for it happening is this: When turning left, typically from a stop either at a light or stop sign, as soon as...

Seeking advice on some maintenance that was neglected on my new-to-me 2002 LX470 with 179500 miles on her. I just took my lx to my local tire + axle guy who pointed out to me that I had some significant issues with my front end. First off, all ball joints were totally shot. That's a...

The household GX developed a sudden metallic, squeaky, grinding sound that has me stumped. Happens only while turned full lock to the right, was only while moving forward but did start to happen while reversing as well at one point. I know there's a few possibilities so here's a video where you...

Have a 1996 LC. Got it when it had 110K miles. Currently has 325K miles. Never abused or four wheeling. Just received a quote from a reputable LC shop. Have sticker shock and could use another expert opinion. Does this all need to be replaced to get a reliable front end? Here are the...
