terrieo Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi! Only thing so far I've found in handling is that on sharp right turns get popping creaking noise in front end. Have a friend whose car did this & she was told it was because car sat for 5 yrs in garage of survivng spuose & some lines stiffened up, they have never recommended fixing it. Any ideas what this could be before I take to shop for overall checkup, would like a heads up before go as some mechanics think women are a free ride for any costly repair they want to do! Please advise. Thx, TerrieO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acudoc Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 If it is only at the end of a full turn. There are some plastic stops that may need to be replaced. They fit over a finger size projection on each side. Only a few dollars at the dealer.

Please advise. Thx, TerrieO Your Toy has turning limit bolts that are adjustable and prevent the truck from turning too far. It is easy to bend them and break them off when you turn sharp and hit a bump. When it is broken, you get that creaking, popping noise because your wheels are allowed to crank around too far. The bolts are easy to replace, once you find them. On my brother's '91 Sea Breeze 900, both were broken; on my '92 Winnebago Warrior, one was broken and the other was bent. Because the bent one was still in place, it was pretty easy to find. With both broken, if you don't know what you are looking for, it may take you a while to find what you are looking for. When I replaced ours, I just guessed at the adjustment, based on measuring the bent one I still had. Now, I can't turn as sharp, but no nasty noises!

linda s Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Never heard of the bolt actually breaking but many stories about the noise from missing cap. Here's the part. http://www.bestautojobs.com/shop/steeringbesttoyota/itemn6929_72898lvh.html LS Good post. I have this noise as well. Anyone have a pic of these bolts? Part number?

acudoc Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 When I replaced mine, i told toyota dealer pickup but forgot to say motorhome. Had to return them for toyota motorhome part. Never heard of the bolt actually breaking but many stories about the noise from missing cap.

BobBeery Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 My 87 has had that sound since I bought it March 2010. I'm glad somebody else was smart enough to ask about it. Mine is usually turning right but it has done it once or twice turning left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doghouse Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Autohauz list them for $5. They have regular pickup and extended cab, but list the same part number. I am assuming you need two? Regular cab or extended? The guy above said the dealer said the part is motorhome specific? BS? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
