94 Landcruiser “Clicking”

[DodgeH8TER]

So just bought my second car at 17. 1994 FJ80 with 328000 miles for 3500. Seems to be taken care of pretty well but has a clicking noise from the front left in a sharp turn. I think it’s the Steering knuckles but I thought I might ask first before throwing parts

Thanks boss. Luckily working on dodges has got me quite used to having to jump and tow vehicles

If you plan on pulling it apart, the front brakes on these are inboard rotors, so you must remove the hub and unbolt the rotor from the inside of the hub to replace it.

If you're even thinking that the front rotors need work, do them when you have it all apart (WIIT) While I'm In There..... Maybe front brakes, calipers, hoses in seals....

CruiserTeq is excellent service and has parts of many cost levels.

What are your plans for the truck?
DD, rock crawler, point A to point B???

That will make a difference on what we advise.

I’ve had experience from having to pull apart the hub from an 84 square body.

The rotors are good but the brake pads are getting to about 2 maybe 3 MM so on the verge of replacement.

I plan on it being a daily driver but not full daily. So 50/50 with my little ranger. I plan on re doing all the seals and then ripping the dash apart and replacing heater core, Evaporator, etc
