grinding

is this normal.... But, I am still on my search for the perfect 100 for me (and I now know, probably not), but I found a Southern California '98 with 250K miles with zero rust, factory rear locker (more of that in a second), clean interior, all electronics work, body is straight - but driver...

I noticed a swirling, low-pitched, rotational scraping sound while driving down the highway at speeds where the wind noise was low enough to notice the sound. The sound had lessened to a whisper by the time I got home about 100 miles later, and only when turning left at near full lock. The...

So when I go to start Lexi, especially when it's cold, I might get a short grinding noise, and the starter will just spin. I let off the starter of course and usually the second (or third time yesterday) it will engage and start. Is it serviceable?

I am getting close to wrapping up a vortec swap in my 62, and have noticed some odd behavior from my transfer case. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation, or experience with something similar. Basically it seems like the 4l60 doesn't stop spinning enough for the transfer case to be shifted...

Anyone have this problem? I have a rotating grinding noise(similar to, most likely brakes). It seems to be coming from the LEFT side of the car. Moe than likely LEFT REAR. I can make it happen when I steer slightly to the RIGHT. I'm sure there's some changes in static/dynamic forces causing it...

Hey y’all- new to the Landcruiser life. Picked up a triple locked 80 Series yesterday (‘94) anticipating a project. After driving for about 10 minutes, I noticed a whining sound when hitting around 25mph. It took no time for this to turn into a horrible grinding/ rattling sound. Sounds...

Hi everyone, Hoping to get some ideas on what may be causing this grinding noise which seems to be coming from the transfer case area. The truck is a 1979 BJ40 with a 4 speed transmission. The noise occurs in all 4 forward gears (while moving) and does not occur in reverse. When the clutch is...

Hello! New here. Have a 99 Cruiser. Probably 50% of the time I start my cruiser the starter grinds right as it fires up. Almost like the bendix isn’t retracting all the way on the starter. It’s not an easy swap to replace starter, just curious if anyone else has had this issue?

Howdy Folks, This weekend when driving on well packed dirt roads I decided to throw my 62 in H4WD as I just rebuilt the front end and still haven’t hit the miles on it to drain the fresh metal shavings out. Upon doing so I discovered that when I went over 20-25 MPH I would start to hear a low...

Okay, I know this has been covered in hella other threads (and please don't flame my newbie ass) but I have no idea what those say, so please hold my hand super tightly (I mean really effing tightly) through this process. I got a 2000 LX470. When I put the car in drive or reverse with central...

Does anyone know what this part is? The exhaust pipe in the middle is grinding against the u-joint. And noticed the exhaust was sagging lower than it should. Then noticed that this piece was broken. Anyone know the name of it and how to replace?

I have a 1984 fj60 with a 2FE conversion with H55f. I replaced the clutch and flywheel a while back ago and when i removed the old flywheel it had groves worn in on the engine side of it that the new one didnt have. And where you press in the rear main seal the metal on the block is flat, shiney...

Hi, I just got the clutch changed in my A442F, shifts very smooth, runs well, but after we fitted the tranny back, noticed a grinding shift when playing around with the transfer case, its like gears struggling to sync in. Now this happens when the truck's engine is on but when in dead slow, but...

New-ish FJ80 owner here. Found a 94 and it's been running like a charm for quite a while. Today while driving I noticed a grinding sound as I stopped at a light. In drive, the truck won't idle forward. I can accelerate and it takes a moment to respond, then jumps forward harshly and cruises for...

After some searching nothing really matches the issue I'm having. I've recently done a full knuckle rebuild with wheel bearings, rotors, calipers and pads. The noise was present before and still exists; basically when I have the truck in gear it starts making this grinding noise whenever I go...

Truck is a 1989 4runner, 22re, automatic. Lately, when accelerating quickly from a dead stop, I've been hearing an unpleasant groaning/grinding/rumbling sound from the vicinity of the transfer case, and when I put it in 4L it makes the same sound (but worse), and keeps popping out of 4L. I...

My wife's 2005 LX 470 broke down. She said she was driving 70MPH and all of a sudden she heard a loud "grinding" sound, then the power steering locked up and the vehicle came to a sudden stop. Now it wont start but will crank and sounds normal doing so. Checked the serpentine belt and its ok...

I've got a 99 LC100 with 196k. I accidentally pushed the center diff lock button while driving. I've used it before with no problems engaging and disengaging. This time I stopped and hit the button again to turn it off. The light when off but when I put it in gear it went nowhere and I could...

Hey all, I went off roading last weekend with people and shortly thereafter my brakes (mostly the front) started to make a grumbling grinding noise. There's no change in pedal movement or stopping power. I wondered if the calipers were just dirty so today I cleaned them out at the car wash. I...
