Asad Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 track rodslower ball jointsand thats it, never heard of a inner track rod being needed unless the track rod is meare impossible to get off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 As Asad said its really just track rod ends and bottom ball joints.The guy may be having trouble if there tight as you can only get the open end of a spanner on the nuts. So really easy to round off.If your going for new parts we can supply both of the above parts delivered to your door.RegardsGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 cheers mate would the inner rods be worth changing at all? what about any bushes around that kinda area? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Not unless there is play or damage, they can be change but I don't think I have personally ever changed one.You would need to take your steering rack boot off to replace these so there may be a risk of that getting damaged aswell.There is wishbone bushes and ARB bushes in this area but again not really necessary to replace unless they are damaged or being uprated.

mattyD Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 ok mate, the track rod ends and lower ball joints you supply, would the be genuine toyota?i might think about uprating the wishbone bushes, i dont trust the old rubber! my gearbox mount failed without me knowing and has cost me 2k to put right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah we recommend the Genuine Toyota ones which we can supply, also we can supply a budget equivalent which are still great qaulity but not genuine, It's always good for piece of mind to know whats replaced as you never know the cars history or what terrain it's been driven in so any bushes could have premature wear. IMO if the bushes are coming out its just aswell to put uprated ones in as with the age of the car it may take some work to remove them, then after all that it's just standards ones going back in if you know what I mean.

mattyD Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 can you PM me a price on two track rod ends and two lower ball joints please mate? and i can see what you mean about just changing things like that for another standard part, if you are going to do it..........................UPGRADE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah not a problem. I'll have to double check the price again so I'll get a pm to you on Monday RegardsGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
