You have a great gift of teaching so that anyone can understand visually and mentally the subject at hand. Not many people take the extra time and effort to do the close ups and complete explanations of what's going on. Super job :)
Lift kits are a waste of money, in their initial cost and in caused suspension failures later on . As a trapper and fish who is honestly off road more than not. All that is needed is taller and narrower tires . If it doesn't increase distance between ground and pumpkin , it is useless. I asked a friend who put one on his truck years later why he did it. He said " it looks tough" . What a fool.
@@slalomking Takes less than a minute to check. If the truck is lifted and has larger heavier tires they will be bone dry @ 20k. Zerk fittings are there for a reason.
Those are no OEM junk. Had he keep the OEM, it would still be new! Many mechanics who used to work on cars other than TOYOTA's recommend unnecessary replacements due to age. You end up replacing fantastic Toyota parts with Chineium junk!
I’m having a very bad (sometimes) squealing belt when I start my 2010 Toyota Tundra, SR5 crew cab. The weird thing is, when I turn the key fast, it squeals. When I turn the key very slow, and wait for beeps and electrical sounds turn off, it doesn’t squeal. Also, it will squeal very bad, when I start my car if the front wheels are Not in the straight position. The belt is about 2 months old and it’s OEM. I changed two pulleys and the tensioner pulley. It only squeals on start up, when I turn the key fast. It stops squealing once the RPMs slow down, after that initial high RPM start up. Do you know of any solutions for this.?

Someone didn't do their maintenance.
Excellent tutorial, thank you. I don't think there are many new vehicles that even come with grease fittings any more.

I just put my Rx450h in the air left side wheel bearing needs replaced too😢 thank you for your time.
It’s a continuous process. I’ve got three 1990s Toyotas I’m caring for. I’ve got a stack of new parts just waiting for their weekend
Peter another great video. Thank you
It looked like the sleve that the tie rod end goes through was cracked.
Great channel
OTR ends on this rig were replaced at one time already? NO OEM OTR that i know of have grease fittings such as these old ones do
Thanks sir
I did that today on my 17 rav4 at home, i took it and did alignment
great video!!!🙂👍
Thanks
What did peter say? A large play? Not today!
Why can these outer tie rod ends not just be solid ? What's the need for movement ?
So we can steer
@@Justin1020304 what r u talking about ? Its joined to the hub so goes in and out of steering rack, but why movement at the join ?
@@arnietwo11 I would assume for less vibration when driving
For steering you to the grocery store for your wife and the up and down cycling of your suspension while Jody is in the vehicle with her...
I love those wheels
That isn't rust. It is cinnamon powder used in cooking and baking.
Obviously, the previous mechanic was a Cook.
Good video.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GREASE ?
When you change your oil. Might only take one pump of grease. When you see the protective boot start to swell its good.
Every 20k miles, grease them. Every oil change is too much

@@kennyH20 well I guess, forgot about it being lifted. My normal GM’s go 20,000 easily.

Nice diagnostic info.
The grease gun is your friend.
That lift is creating stress on those tie rods.
I got a lift on a 3rd gen 4runner (Same setup as this taco) but no play. HE has non oem junk. Toyota OEM does not come with grease nipples.
Raising a vehicle will wear the CV joints out faster.
Thank you 👍
Great video, Peter. Very educational. Thank you, Sir.🇨🇦🇺🇸👍

The tensioner could be weak, it is just not a pulley.
@@slalomking the tensioner is new. But….. it wasn’t OEM. Hmmm, maybe I’ll look at buying an OEM tensioner.
@@HeyMikeyLikesIt2 Almost guarantee you is the issue with some Chinese or Taiwan manufactured aftermarket part. Indeed OEM all the way my friend!
@@jonathanratliff4780 yeah was thinking of changing it out next weekend.
Thank you Peter. Work safe!
