I’m redoing my power steering due to a seal leak on the PS box. I’m realizing some questionable work that was done in the past. Is there a recommended/required distance from the firewall to the steering wheel. ‘72 FJ40. An AFM bracket was welded to the steering column to be able to mount it...
Replacing Saginaw box and steering linkage. Having a hell of a time getting the DD shaft out of the U joint in steering linkage. Any tricks of the trade? Don’t want to ruin U joint as it seems to be welded to the steering column coming through the firewall.
Removed bolt, tried heating it up...
LJ70 steering box mounted with backplate and bushes inside the frame
Since I don't have the tub I made a template with the original steering box in order to have the inclination and distance of the steering axis, to adapt the new column
Tie rod and relay rod replaced
LJ steering relay rod newly...
I’m attempting to disassemble my steering column to install a bushing (currently it’s loose in the firewall with a big gap). But I don’t know if I can get the shaft out? Should I be able to slide the ignition switch piece up toward the wheel? First pic. The FSM seems to skip some steps.
The PO...
Hey guys,
When driving my rig in the past (hasn't run well in 2 years) I would get a popping noise felt in the steering column, which was alarming. The engine situation took precidence, and here I am 2years later wondering what this is still. I've driven it a couple blocks so far and haven't...
Howdy,
I have a later model (don’t actually know the year, but I know it’s from the latter runs) FJ55 steering column. I bought this piece by mistake. It works fine, just wasn’t what I needed.
Does not come with the steering wheel, turn signal assembly or column cover (around the switch and...
I apologize in advance if this isn't the right way to ask a question. I haven't posted much on IH8Mud. I am starting a body off restoration of my 1970 FJ40. It is all original with a 3 on the Tree. Are there any good resources out there for videos or documentation on how to remove the shifter...
This is the piece that holds the ignition switch and several other switches including the locker switch. Very nice gray panel unmolested only switch included is the dimmer switch for dash lights. Price $28 plus shipping. Best to email me shmukter@pa.metrocast.net
Good afternoon.
I have a handful of items hanging around that are in the way. Having trouble loading pics right now but I will upload ASAP.
All parts are in Tulsa, OK. All from an FJ40. Prefer not to ship as most of these items are fairly large and unwieldy, but I realize I'll probably have to...
Had my alternator replaced today and when I went to pick up my LX, the steering wheel was really really high forward. So much so that it was hitting the plastic lower shroud of the column. When I tried to adjust it, it telescopes in and out fine but when I went down it didn’t go very far down...
I’m stumped… what size is the nut for a 1966 steering column (Fj45lv but I’m sure all 1966 columns are the same)? I used calipers and thread pitch tools and thought maybe m13 1.5
Only had m12 1.5 at store. No odd sizes.
Anyone have a nut they can get me or know where to get one? I have a horn...
Hi everyone. I have an 83 bj40. I have most of the PS parts needed, but would like to find a PS column/shaft and a set of hard cooler lines too, if possible. It's fine if the cooler lines are in bad shape. ( I know, hard to find)
Thanks LMK.
Decided to replace the steering column in my 92 (had to replace upper bracket for ignition and thought replacing the whole shaft would be faster then messing with the tamper proof fasteners that retain the bracket) the donor column came from a 94. Problem is the spindle for the Upper shaft that...
Just replaced these and I'd be happy to send them to anyone who wants them for the cost of shipping. Came off a 1994 KZJ78 but I'm guessing these fit other models as well. Lots of shadows in the pics of the sun visors, they aren't too bad of shape.
I'm in Okinawa Japan but can send these...
