I replaced the lower control arm bushing on my 84 recently. A front outer wheel bearing race fits snug on the front side of the bush and i used 2x inner races on the rear along with a 200mm M16 bolt and 2x 5mm m16 square washers.
Nice work, I did the same (1 ton brake and new wheel bearings), last week. One note is that the final torque of the wheel bearing nut isn’t 25 ft lb, that’s just to seat the bearings. You’re supposed to loosen the nut to hand tight and then check runout. Otherwise your bearing will be too tight
Woah lotta work and rip 💀 10:06 your finger 😬😥 I just imagine someone down the road who ends up with this truck going to auto store for a part for the front end and being baffled which year and part to get 🤣
I used 90s Toyota surf torsion Bar on my 2 wheel drive Hilux it goes around corners like a gokart I love how Toyota parts fit between the model's I even have old Toyota brakes with the pedal box in a 58 Holden
Never thought I would enjoy watching someone lower a truck .. but this was great, cool to watch how you did some things, thanks for sharing!! p.s. I REALLY love this frame off resto series of these trucks, so many of these we only get to see the condensed into a single overview video, love really love seeing this over time as you do it, truly, thanks SO much 🙏
@@williamneigum7002 Yep, you should be good, although since putting some weight and compressing the suspension, I found that the calipers contact the upper A arms when the wheel is turned a lot. I think un-doing the balljoint flip should create enough clearance.
I have an 84 3/4 ton Toyota pickup and it was difficult finding what size caliper without physically looking when I went to get new calipers. The 1/2 ton calipers go on the front and the rear drums are their own 3/4 ton own drums. Before August 84 the 3/4 ton used one ton front calipers.
