My LC has 320,000Km (200K miles) and there is some minor play on both ITREs and one LBJ. I think it's time for an ovehaul, and I am considering replacing upper & lower BJ, ITREs and OTREs. Wheel bearings look and feel fine, I think they are the factory ones (TIMKEN).
The consensus for 555 parts seems to be good among the 100 community, but it doesn't seem to be the same for the 4Runner guys, who claim that the 555 LBJ is just like any cheap chinese replacement and won't last.
So far, I've read that the only bad thing about 555 steering/suspension parts for the 100 is that they rust easily, which can be fixed with some paint. Anyway, I will appreciate any experienced posters to jump in and help me decide.
