Hi guys, I bought my first Land Cruiser a month ago and I already love it! I bought a 2000 model that has been extremely well maintained. Since picking it up, I have driven 5k miles. I have noticed a few things that I want to refresh on the car. Based on threads from this forum I have fixed the steering wheel squeak, and diagnosed a slight whine from the engine as a fading alternator.
My next project that I am working on is the suspension. I was reading about other members who replaced the shocks with OEM Toyota shocks with great results. While I am replacing the shocks I want to replace my squeaking bushings. Going over speed bumps I hear some creaks from the front suspension primarily. Are there any threads with pictures/video showing which bushings are most troublesome and how to replace them? I would love to do this myself, but I am having trouble figuring out where to start.
Thanks for the help! There is great content on this forum!
