I've got an 89 FJ62 (paid $4300 20 months ago had 95k miles and everything original and clean, now has 105K) I recently put new tires/springs/shocks/etc on her OME with BF Goodrich 31s.
Everything is cool but...
My mechanic, who's a friend, tells me I need everything from the steering box to the wheels replaced. Rods, pitman arms, etc. I'm seeing a lot of ends like this -> Cruiser Outfitters but I'm coming up empty on the whole shebang. Any help on where to look or even what to call the rods between the ends so I can search would be appreciated.
The other thing that's going on is since I put the springs and lift on it's making a bit of a groaning or low rumble that sounds strained when cruising right around 1900-2000 RPMs. My buddy tells me he adjusted the gearing so it wouldn't be such a struggle to get it to shift when you step on it, which it was previously. Could these be related?
Thanks!
