Thank you for the response, The adjustment should be set correctly, I only did it a few months ago as I heard it dragging. I rarely use the brake but today was an exception. I haven't posted the full story so here is where I'm at right now: I briefly lost brakes on an incline due to a leak I...

I am currently stuck in a parking lot with a stuck parking brake. It is stuck dragging and I cannot freely roll, but I cannot get it to actuate with the pedal. The drum brake (on the rear brakes) adjust seems fine, put the pedal isn't actuating the parking brake. the pedal is also working fine...

I agree, I'll be paying someone to do it when the time comes. For now I'm getting rods installed in the frame to try and get a little bit longer out of it. I do plan to restore this car in the far future, but it will need a new frame entirely. I've been thinking about a custom tube frame, but...

Yeah I get that thumping over bumps. It's been on my list for some time now. As for the U joint it seems fine, I don't see any (Or feel any by grabbing the steering shaft.) I'm going to see if I can't replace the seals for the PS rack. If it's possible (and not a miserable experience) I'll do...

No dice on this, mostly because I can't jack both wheels of the car into the air at the same time. (Front jacking point under the engine is gone) I did give it a go on the ground (and a lot of time) but I don't think I was able to get any into the U-Joint. Thank you anyways! I am noticing this...

the clips that hold the bumper cover on seem to be broken. On the 2003 at least there is also a Styrofoam pad between the frame and the bumper cover, that may also have an impact on it's position. https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=VvODyI4yUzrAdYcE&v=hDPnx91LjIs&feature=youtu.be <--- This video...

For once I am glad my T4R doesn't have A/C! I'm surprised the price is going up already, I thought the change was a recent one.

I'll do this tommorow. Thank you for this!

Also nothing to add, but I'm in the same boat. I think I'm on number 3 in 10 years on that corner. Last time mine seized in the shut position from overheat damage and I got stranded.

Thank you for the response! I haven't really done any modifications. I have aftermarket rims that are the same dimensions of the original, my tires are slightly larger than the originals too but I don't remember their size right off the top of my head. I have shortened one of the PS fluid...

I think these might be some part numbers for those lines. Toyota just has them labelled as AC line. They also have these listed for the 4.0 V6. I'm not sure there is a difference though. 88710-35540 88716-35620 Suction Hose: 88704-60370 Suction Pipe: 88707-60180 Discharge Hose: 88703-35010...

I had to take a wheel off of the car not too long ago and decided to inspect the brakes while I was in there. One of them was wearing extremely odd with the pad wearing at an egragarious angle to the rotor. I've known the front rotors are not flat and have a slight warp from heat damage. The...

Quick updates: I have slight toe out on both fronts. It doesn't seem very bad at all. As for the steering bolts they're completely rust welded to the thing. A fairly secure rust mound where they are. Replacing them might not be a bad idea to be honest. I took a look at the power steering...

Thanks for the reply! I agree, although I do think it's worth mentioning I put somewhere around 25-30k miles on the car in 6 months. I am very impressed in that case the pump hasn't kicked the bucket if it's making that much heat. I've always thought it was contamination from degrading hoses...

That's good there isn't any performance difference. Figured it'd worth covering all bases :biggrin1: My next guess would be some sort of an engine sound. Maybe try holding the RPM at whatever your tach reads when you tow. Maybe it's something in the accessory drive. My only other thought might...
