  1. can anyone confirm that a 2wd/fwd front strut would work fine in a 4wd loyale wagon?
  2. Have you put them to use yet? Part number please?
  3. So why even list the part for 2wd use. Good info and thanks for that!
  4. Does anyone have an idea where I can find front struts for a 90 Loyale wagon 4wd MT? Rock auto has a set, but they're gabriels. I was hoping to get some KYB's, but I'm not willing to pay over $100 per strut when I can get Bilsteins for my full size truck for half that price. Are there any front strut alternatives? Ive read the "2.7 Turbo Loyale" writeup on improved suspension, but I'm not going that route right now. Thanks for any help.
  5. I'll get me cilynders for each rear drum as well as new pads and hardware/springs. Is there a how-to for this? I can't seem to locate one with search function... And I haven't looked on YouTube yet, but are there any tips to make it go smoother?
  6. Here's a good one I found while researching this topic...http://www.austincc.edu/wkibbe/oilfilterstudy.htm
  7. I usually use the aftermarket gaskets and smear them with high temp RTV (Orange) gasket maker. It works for me just fine. It also helps if you have good studs to bolt your exhaust.
  8. The drum looks ok. It could probably be used again. I've just never done drum brakes before so I wasn't sure if I would need to go more in depth...
  9. Hi guys! It's been about a year since I've been on here, but I'm back and have some questions. I've been working on a 91 Loyale and just finished it up. I took it for a test drive and the brake fluid light came on. Then the brakes went out. I limped it home in first (I was only a block away) and checked it out. I had oil leaking out of the passenger side drum. I busted it apart and found the drum full of brake fluid and what was left of the pads in the bottom of the drum. My question is can I replace the piston at the top of the brakes (cause of said leak) and pads and be on my way? I am assuming the other side needs pads as well.
  10. I have 4 in good shape. you can have them for shipping costs... PM me if you want them
  11. I cleared 28" BFG KM2's with a 2" lift and fender trimming. They rubbed on a tight turn. I'm not sure you'll do too well on the SS with how wide they are but I'm sure you can get some offset Toyota rims or something.
