My recently acquired 2000 LX470 has about 326k on it. PO had put Kuhmo MT’s on it, I started noticing cupping and noise when driving. Took it to a local shop to check alignment and they told me UCAs needed replacing (along with a couple other things).
Coming from my experience with the ‘95 80 series I have, I’m a little confused about the IFS and CV axles. Can/should it be rebuilt when I’m replacing UCAs, or is it more of a “just fix what’s wrong” situation?
And follow-up question: I have seen @cruiseroutfit carries rebuild kits, but when I baselined the 80, I bought Birfs for that. I’m assuming the 100s have a similar setup; would now be a good time to replace those as well and just rebuild the whole wheel assembly?
FSM’s are in the works, but if anyone can point me in the right direction to a pdf, that would be helpful too.
and I have seen this thread, seems like a great write up from @SUMMIT CRUISERS
