Re: Pinion play

it will be bearing failure. while i would not recommend reusing a crush tube, tightening them up a tad is fine. Fair enough, yeah I guess if you know the history of the truck, and how its been treated would be factor. A tiny nudge won't harm it, but do you think that since the bearings are on the w...

Re: Pinion play

Crush tube or bearings. Agree w/ Churchill, the Toyo diffs are very fussy and will blow up if even slightly out of spec.
NEVER EVER re-use/retighten a crush tube! They are designed for a single use.

Best and most widely accepted solution when rebuilding is to replace it with a solid spacer.

Re: FS: lower ball joints for kzn-185 surf or 90/95 series Prados

Anybody who has that travesty of an IFS system should buy these immediately and install them.

Toyo did a recall on this, they f***d up big time by putting the lower Bj in a constantly state of tension. It's literally trying to pull itself apart every time the suspension is working.

Re: Gas shock query

For best overall handling it should have a slight rake, ie slightly lower in the front, with the camber set slightly positive. Then when you load it up with passengers, fuel, gear etc it will level out and the camber should normalise at about 1 degree negative.
