Best of luck!

Great videos! New subscriber here. I’d love to see the replacement of the differential bushings. I have a 98’ LX470 with a clunk going from R to D and vice versa

Thank you! Here you go: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqxlu5h-ZdDaY9Y.htmlsi=5qYBFBht8TBUYETX

also Great videos

Just wanted to say really well made videos. Especially how you document the level of improvement (or not) each job had. Also, you may know this, but the plastic 'T' piece heater hose connectors at the back of the engine bay tend to get very brittle and can sudddenly start leaking coolant. Might be worth replacing if you're planning on keeping the vehicle. Either way nice work.

Thank you! I replaced my heater Ts a few years ago, but maybe that would be worth making a video for since it’s such a common issue.

about how much would a shop charge to do this? And how much ride improvement did you feel, 2005 with 295k 2007 with 156K

I’m not sure but considering how long it takes to push out all these bushings and that labor costs upwards of $150 an hour, im sure they would reccomend to replace each control arm with a new control arm assembly (more expensive parts but much faster job). If you’re thinking this job is too much work (don’t blame you), you might consider buying full assemblies and replacing them on your own (probably a 2 hr job). If you’re doubting that effort, then have a shop replace them with full assemblies. To be honest the ride improvement for this one was somewhat minor. Take a look to see what condition yours are in. Put a pry bar on them and see how much play is in the rubber bushings on each end. If they are really worn out or deteriorated you could get a big improvement in quality. I’ve seen 100 series UCAs in pretty bad shape after around 200k, mine weren’t too bad.

For once I decided to go the easy route, spend a bit more and save time and bought the ironman 4x4 adjustable lower links. While i need to tweak them a bit to get alignment correct, this has easily been the most noticeable improvement i've made to my 99LC. More than UCAs, Lower Ball Joints, new Suspension, new steering rack... the list goes on and on. My truck tracks so much better at higher speeds, feels stable over bumps, and corners more predictably. I had no idea they needed replacement until this vid. Took me 20 mins per side. Cant recommend this upgrade enough! Upper links are next for me.
