recall done!

[darkdezigns]

wel yeomans collected my car from work,did the steering recall,said tracking wont need doing and besides because i have "oversize tyres" they cant do it anyway,to which my reply was well isnt my wheel/tyre size same as a landcruiser".............er yes yes",so you dont do tracking on a standard landcruiser then?".............err yes",was bored at this point so told them if it doesnt drive straight ill ring them,they valeted it,bought it back,very nice,my only niggle was when they suggested collection delivery,my first question was do u replace the fuel you use,to which i got"i'm sure we can sort somthing out",suprise suprise,they couldn't so they did 76.3kms with my fuel,but atleast it's done now

I got the impression that when you change steering components then the tracking needs to be done, well at least thats what the main Toyota dealer in Derby told me when they did mine, cuz i had to wait for it to be done.

nope aslong as they put the rod back in same position,i did check with them like i said,but still goes straight with both hands off the wheel,so i happy with that.
my highlight was the 20 sumthin girl that collected/delivered,she parked it up passed m the key and said"it's a bit of a beast isnt it"lololol

go onto roughtrax site and buy the 2 bushes for the idler first as that may cure the problem.If it don't then it will be a replacement idler arm

if the bushes don't solve the problem then a good 2nd hand one should be ok.You will need a ball joint splitter also to split the idler from the steering rod.(thats the recal part) and its 3 bolts to take off to take it off the chasis(n/s)
