VGRS retrofit, rebuild, or replace?
Hello all, I've been hanging around here for a long time, and have never needed to actually ask a question. FAQ's and searches have satisfied all my questions! Thank You! I have recently acquired a 2006 LX 470 with 133,000 miles. One owner, clean interior, and just a touch of fuzz in all the...

Replaced both axles and drive plates. Good as new. Misfire was on cyl 5. New coil fixed her up.

This anyone's 100 we know? Hope not...
Pfran leds are great quality. Loving them.
Pulled fenders finally. Got dark as I finished cleaning/ washing. Need to buff some more and paint one bad rub spot.

Crazy how much of a difference that makes
Left the stealership yesterday and wondered how difficult these few items are to tackle:
What say you?
- Power steering return line
- Power steering supply line
- Valve cover gasket
What say you?
Give 49 tire a call
I’m in Charlotte these days so that would be tough. But they’ve been my go to guys for a few years now.

Hoses are easy. Would think valve cover should be too.

Threw a upper bank O2 code on the 2001 with 285,000 miles.
Figured I’d just change all 4.
RockAuto suggested this O2 wrench. Turned out to be a nice addition for the fronts for only $14
$200 all in for 4, wrench and Denso. Took about 30 minutes
While I had it up on the ramps I gave it a good Fluid Film bath.

are there caps to put over the rear spoiler holes? currently sporting 4 ugly screws in that location.
Did you remove yours? Or did it fly off on the highway? My wife’s flew off on the high way and I’m currently looking for one.
For the holes. I was planning on getting some buttton head Allen bolts and painting them black.

Have any of y’all ever experienced a buzzing almost grinding noise from the front CV? Driver side, leaking gear oil, new CV. New flange. It was swapped by a local shop while I was having some other work done to it. Seems to be a somewhat slow leak due to the size of the puddle in my driveway. The first time they installed it, it was a huge leak. They “fixed it” and then the axle popped the C clip at the flange and the axle sucked in. They replaced the CV and now it’s kind of doing this buzzing and almost grinding thing and seems to be leaking a little oil.
I installed the passenger side and have no grinding/buzzing from it at all. No leaks either. Would the seal at the diff on the driver side cause this?
Edit: climbed under there. It’s not leaking gear oil. It’s either PS fluid or oil but that’s unrelated I think. The rumbling grinding is definitely coming the cv though

The noise is more than likely dry or damaged needle bearings/bronze washer pressed into the spindle. Could also be bad wheel bearings as well. You can find out by removing the LF drive flange and jacking the LF tire off the ground. With the drive flange removed tire will spin freely. If noise is still there the issue is wheel bearings, if the noise goes away it is spindle bearings/bronze bushing.
Fluid leak is more than likely the rack and pinion end seals. Replace the rack and pinion to correct.

No lift, stock tires, aftermarket CVs :/ doesn’t see dirt ever. It’s her daily driver grocery getter.
Perfect! I knew the steering rack is on its way out so that makes sense. I’ll get the wheel and flange off tomorrow to check it out. Who knows when the last time the wheel bearing was messed with. Unfortunately the grinding buzzing noise is pretty inconsistent when driving. I’m going to try and pinpoint when it does it while driving it tonight. Seems as though a bad bearing would be making the noise. Are these hubs similar to the solid axle hubs? Where the wheel bearing rides on the spindle and preload is set with a fish scale?
Needle bearing/bronze washer can be inconsistent. Hubs are identical as far as removal/servicing but fish scale is for trunion bearings not wheel bearings.
Ah yeah might as well try and replace it all while I’m in there. Really appreciate the help rob
Use OEM Toyota CVs. The 100 is very particular with the CVs and plenty of guys on here have had issues with brand new aftermarket.
As part of an insurance claim, both of my fronts were replaced (but with aftermarket). I’ve had nothing but popping from the D/S ever since.
