Found a photo of the plastic bush removal from a Russian site. Don't know Russian but it looks like you just press the lock tab to remove the plastic bush.

I actually found the part for the collar. And there is a plastic bush for it as well. The collar sides into the bush, but the bush is not visible below. This is looking from the end of the shaft. I am not sure how to remove the collar and the bush. Do I just slowly tap the collar out with a...

Updates - i have managed to do the oil plastic bottle shim on the white plastic half "ball" mod in Timmy video. But my steering play is still there although it is reduced. Checking around after installing the steering rack back, it turns out that the bushing/bearing circled in white below...

Not sure if it will be your problem, but mine did it in full lock forward last time, and I grease the steel stoppers on both sides - see blue circle below. This is looking towards the front of the car at the driver side tie rod. Its a metal to metal stops at full lock - there is another metal...

Timmy’s mate Toyota is a 3rd Gen 4runner, which is the SURF as we know it, and it shares the same chassis and almost all parts with the Colorado/Prado 90. I have been watching Timmy’s videos on repairs for most of my Prado. Apart from the fact that his is a Left hand drive and with the 3.4L 5VZ...

Upon further inspection, I think the play I had in my steering systems comes from the steering column section inside the car below the steering wheel. There is so call a telescopic collapsible part of the column, which in an accident will collapse to shorten the column so the wheel dont impact...

Cheers. It's actually full time 4wd. So if front prop is removed, do I need to lock it in H4? I have swapped tyres front and back the vibration is still the same. And tyres just balanced few months ago. New tie rod ends and new bushes for steering arm too (well last summer). So I am inclined to...

That's my thought too. Well I have tried to rotate the end yoke by 90 degree and test drive to about 60mph. The steering shakes like when your tyres are not balanced. I did both clockwise and counter. Not sure what's going on by the previous owner, but I can see those marker writing on the...

Thanks for thr conformation

Hi all, I just want to confirm this, what should the FRONT propshaft of the 90 series be in - I believe its IN-PHASE, or aligned. I have been driving mine for a few years now and not UNTIL I replaced one of the front UJs - I noticed that mine is out of Phase. Like the second shaft below...

Hi Stuzbot, not sure where you are at this job. Just watched a youtube video from The Car Care Nuts (which some of you would know I supposed as his Toyota knowledge is second to none): Part of the video is for the inner seal replacement. He didn't remove the abs sensor. If you are doing...

Thanks. Yes l adjusted the big nut by tightening it a fraction. This "push" the rack closer to the pinion. But it still has play. If I tighten more the steering wheel won't return itself after turn. If you dont mind finding the brand you bought, it will be appreciated. At least as a reference...

Or has anyone replaced yours with an Aftermarket rack before? The Genuine Toyota one is pricy...

Hi I have play in my tie rod ends area when rocking the driver side wheel in 3-9 o'clock direction. Like how you check wheel bearing. Not a huge amount but enough to notice. SO I replaced both the inner and outer tie rods, kind of help a bit but there is still play. I can see the inner tie rod...

Hi @Lancashire Cruiser just out of interest, how much did you pay at the dealer? if you don't mind sharing.

The 250.. how the aussie do it. Stock 250 capabilities: Skip to mins 14:55 if you are only interested in the off road bits And if you want to spend a lot of money on a 250 and make it one of a kind, watch this: skip to mins 30:00 straight into the offroad bit

Check out this video: 4runner but should be similar. Also read the video description. He mentioned something about using another truck parts but this is in the states. Toyota double cardan joint might not be as simple as the end UJ.

What do you mean by the fuel me How long is long for the sensor to get up to temp? 10mins drive? Does it stays at around 80ish once it gets up to temp?

An update albeit after a few years. For those that are interested in my original question about the 80 wheel. I Finally got myself a set of 80s wheel on my 90. I have 265 70 16 tyres on them - OEM tyre size for the 90. And it fits perfectly without rubbing as mine is not lifted. Photos from last...

Thanks. 2 beautiful 90s. The black one is just so tidy!!!! Wins the collies beauty contest anyday. I reckon it will be the coned nut too. But haven't own any 80s wheel before so want to confirm.

Fellow 80s, Quick question, I am picking up a set of 80 alloys for my 90 series. The zoomed in photo below shows the wheel seat for the nut: Which wheel nut fits the above? The flanged one or the coned one? I know there are 2 types of 80s alloys. Thanks.

Thank you Rob.

I have been using toyota.epc-data.com to search for parts for years. Now it doesn't worked on my phone, laptop or anything. Anyone else? Has this been taken down? Its a shame, a very good site.

Thanks. You mean the lower bolt of the sliding bracket? Which runs all the way down to top of the oil pan.

Hi all, I want to tighten my v belts as they are deflecting a bit when idle. The photo below is looking from the bottom of the car UP. I can see the lock bolt and adjustment bolt, the pivot bolt must be at the top of the alternator? Red arrow is direction where the alternator need to move to...

The KZ-TE is a robust and strong engine comparing to other manufacturers - in Toyota world, it's not on top of the list as you have other far more legendary diesel like the 1HDT or 1HZ. And I would say aftermarket head isn't necessarily not good, it's down keeping the kz te cooling system on a...

They are Dunlop Grandtrek

Keep her. Its a rare beast. Will it be a straight 5 year out there or you might be back in between? I am from Malaysia originally and you can find all sorts of 70s there: cared for, thrashed, off readers, modded, neglected, passed down etc. But surely won't be as nice as yours

They look pretty well built for heavy use - widthwise, found some information online;
