I recently took my LX in for a diagnostic. I got a good deal on it because of the high mileage, the previous owners took care of the engine and timing belt but everything else needs some love. Another positive is that there is zero rust underneath.
-steering rack
-outer tie rodx2
-upper ball control armX2
-front right cv axle
-rear shocks
-engine mount
-engine stabilizer
I’m looking for resources on any of these, mainly the steering rack and how difficult it is to remove the old one. I don’t think I’m gonna mess with the rear shocks on my own. Should I go oem on all the parts? I know the answer is probably yes, but I’m wondering if anyone has had good results from after market parts. I’m assuming the engine mounts/stabilizers will be easier after the steering rack is removed and the arms are out of the way? I’m new to the land cruiser world and this forum, any advice on videos/resources is greatly appreciated.
