Great update coming today! It turned out the bushes on the lower control arms were the culprit. They have now been replaced, and the vehicle feels SO MUCH better on the road. It doesn't pull right when braking anymore, and it feels solid. That is one big issue off the table. Unfortunately, it...

Thank you so much for the replies everyone. So I don't have a lift kit, but bigger tires are fitted, which I want to change to the original size. As for some interesting news, the front control arms are unfortunately finished - at least the bushings are. I'm not sure if the ATF fluid from the...

Thank you for the advice. I looked at the pan hard rod and the rear trailing arms when the vehicle was having it's front propshaft fitted (long story, it exploded on the highway while I was driving at about 120km/h, fortunately no damage to the car, only to the propshaft which has now been...

So I haven't looked at the wheel bearings properly, doesn't seem to be any play though. I have rotated and realigned the tyres, so it isn't them. I'll look at the wheels, and feel if the right one is getting hotter than the left. The hoses aren't bulging, and the brakes aren't dragging the...

Hey friends, I'm from South Africa. I recently purchased a 2000 Toyota LC 90 with the 3.0 KZTE engine. It has high mileage, but thought I'd give it a shot. I probably paid more for it given the work I've been doing on it, but I'm in it now. Recently replaced all the discs and pads around the...
