I have an FJ60, 84.
Thought the brakes were frozen so we replaced the calipers and rubber lines.
I left it with a trusted mechanic to rebuild the front end and make sure the 4 wheel drive was in working order as that seemed like a bit of a beast project to tackle early on my own.
But now the car is smoking. Hear a strange sound in 4th gear. It wasn’t getting max power. And the something inside the knuckles was so hot that it was smoking on both the driver and passenger side.
Going now to pick up new wheel bearings and seals. Any other thoughts I’m missing?
thanks for any input!
