BTW, Energy Suspension's leaf bushings from newer trucks fix the N10 Hilux just right.

I just rebuilt the brakes. Going to rebuild the steering. I see left and right outer, and INNER tie rod ends. Are the inner the same for left and right side? I only see "inner".

my 1974 steering gear is getting a little bit sloppy. If there were a decent replacement available, I’d happily whack a new one in there, but it’s not a common part to find intact. Has anyone out there tried to rebuild one, or found a specialist to do it?

Alternatively, has anyone found a non-original replacement that is compatible? I’m open to any solution.]]> 12 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 23:47:38 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/72-74-control-arm-compatible-with-later-years.29407/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/72-74-control-arm-compatible-with-later-years.29407/ invalid@example.com (THorn) THorn 1 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 01:31:37 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/stout-id-od-measurement-of-stock-front-coils-springs-for-rk40-rk41-model.24124/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/stout-id-od-measurement-of-stock-front-coils-springs-for-rk40-rk41-model.24124/ invalid@example.com (digital-i) digital-i 2 Sun, 29 May 2022 18:31:33 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/nyousketchy-steering-in-75-hilux-help.28877/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/nyousketchy-steering-in-75-hilux-help.28877/ invalid@example.com (littleredrooster510) littleredrooster510

We picked up a cool 75' Toyota Hilux awhile back and thoroughly love the thing, even w the dinky original motor.


Only problem is, the front left wheel pulls really hard to the left when going over a decent bump or dip. Also the tire bottoms out and rubs up in the wheel well.


I took it and had an alignment done at Big O that helped somewhat, but not nearly enough. When I mentioned to their guy that it was still super squirly feeling, he just said "Well, it ain't a Cadillac!". ha...

I'm assuming there is a washer/bushing that goes on the shock itself before inserting it onto the frame. With the remaining parts I would sandwich the bushing in between the washers. Just curious which washer I use, and if I need two up top?

My concern is when I get on rack auto to look at the parts they have them listed by year and the parts are not the same.

I've actual ordered a 76 pitman arm and it seemed to be longer an bulkier that the one pulled off (no idea if it was orginal)

I just want to make sure...
