    Loose Steering / Play in Steering wheel of FJ40

    What are the likely culprits for a loose steering wheel? Tie Rods.... what else might it be? When driving down the freeway, you have to stay on top of the steering. There is probably 3-4" of play from dead center (1.5"-2" on each side from dead center)

    Loose plug.

    Thanks to this forum I decided to look for my cold start up tick by looking at my plugs. Found it! More than likely saved many $’s. I am not sure when the plugs were changed but all but 2 I would consider loose.

    Loose and Rattling Rear Hatch

    Is there a way to adjust the strikers or latches in the bottom part of the rear hatch? I have a 2000 LC and the rear hatch rattles pretty bad. When I close the bottom part of the hatch and I pull it back and forth, there is a good amount of play (1-1.5mm). This creates a rattle when I'm driving...

    Two footing on loose surfaces, GX chopped the throttle automatically, is this normal?

    My rig is an 80 series (LX450), but this past Friday we took my wife's '14 GX460 to go play on some gravel roads. I tried to drive it like I do the LX (very user input orientated) and the computer wouldn't let me. I was in 4Lo, center diff lock off, on a steep gravel incline and it was...

    loose ground somewhere... now it's draining my battery

    Or maybe it's NOT draining my battery? But I'm hoping that someone could tell me where the most common ground points are, I know there are 1 or 2 in the engine bay, and then there's one in the radio area... I have the following symptoms: 1) it sounds like a rocket ship is taking off on...

    Loose C-Clip on Ball Joint, bad?

    Heard a jingle by my front driver’s side wheel and looked under to find that my ball joint has a loose C-Clip that I’m fairly certain in causing the jungle. See attached photo. Couple of questions: -Is this safe to drive on, even on some light off road trails? -Do I need to replace the ball...

    Some Probably Dumb Questions - Confirmation Appreciated

    Hopefully I'll get some more knowledgeable eyes/answers on this here than I would posting in my "Build" thread. Found this wire dangling loose in the rear hatch. Am I correct in assuming it connects to this lone spade connector by the latch mechanism? Found this down in the driver's side...

    Adhesive for Loose Windshield Molding on LX570

    The windshield molding on my 2008 LX 570 is hanging and is no longer sealed on top of the windshield/roof. The molding itself is intact and appears that it just needs to be re-sealed with an adhesive. The molding does 'click' back into place on the roof, but it comes loose again after 30 mins of...

    Check the screws in your TBI setup! I took apart my air cleaner and adapter yesterday, and a screw from my AFI TBI setup ominously fell on the ground. It had fully backed out and was lying next to the TBI setup, waiting (presumably) to fall into the intake throat and fry the engine. I...

    Alcan Springs ⅝" bolt?

    Not sure if this is really hardcore or not but here it is. I'm SOA with Alcan FJ60 length springs, flipped for WB, which have the free arch relaxed, in the rear of my 40. I was told the Alcans would use ⅝" bolts. They just seem to fit fairly loose, I expected a much tighter fit. I used...

    Loose fuel tank door

    I was installing my fuel tank door on my 77 40 the other day and noticed the hinge has a ton of slop. Is that normal or is their supposed to be a bushing in the hinge that wears out?
