    Thank you. I had the same issues with my sequioa right now. I was thinking of the same thing with the bushing on the lower control arm. I know now where to pry. I also follow one of your other videos on tensioner pully, and I just replaced mine today. Now, the annoying noise went away. Appreciated. I watch a lot of videos, and you make the most sense to where I can understand.

    Periodically spray them with 303 Protectant to resist drying out and cracking . And if too fall gone , spray them with AT-205 Reseal until you can replace them .

    thank you for showing this so clearly. can I do the same pry-bar test with the vehicle on the ground or do I need to lift it?

    • @LAactor
      @LAactor Рік тому +3

      Lift is easier to see. And do. Otherwise you fight the whole weight of the vehicle. Just lift the corner with a jack if you don't have a lift.

    Yes interesting front indeed. Booger welds. And you should say what you mean by preventative. At what mileage or other indicator since you said even before cracking.

    Thanks for the video. My 2015 Toyota Avalon which only has 50k miles starts to make noise when I push the brake hard and quickly. Could it be caused by the Control Arm busing?

  • @billsimpson604

    If you use Toyota parts, you DIY folks can cheat on the alignment for a while by wire brushing the loose dirt off those bolts and hitting them with some light colored spray paint. Photos work too. Then put everything back in the same position where it came apart. The alignment might not be perfect but it will probably be close since those adjustment cams didn't move since the last time they were tightened, maybe at the factory. If the vehicle doesn't pull to one side, and the tires don't wear unevenly, you saved yourself over $100.

    Stellantis, Ford, and Fiat-Chrysler are looking at this vehicle that has been in use since 1997 and are thinking....."God, Toyota-Lexus is such a stupid company to build them so perfectly".
