Toyota Landcruise 4*4 comerical. CV joints issue.
Hi
I recently purchased a 2001 Toyota landcruise jeep (Ireland). It currenyly has 50000 miles on the clock. It had very little of road use. I have notced a knocking sound from the front wheels of the jeep and since dicovered it's probably the CV joints which need to be replaced. Is it normal for CV joints to be replaced on a jeep with only 50000 miles on the clock. The jeep is still covered my garage, and is due to be serviced within a few weeks. Will I have to pay for the new parts? Thanks in advance |

You need to read your 'warranty' papers carefully. Lots don't cover
'normal wear and tear' parts.... 50K is pretty low to have bad CV joints on your Toyota and 'Jeeps' have u-joints up front, not CV joints..... It's not a cheap repair on either vehicle.

A Toyota is not a Jeep.

No. Not if maintained properly (lubricated). Its possible that the front end alignment may be mis-adjusted. The CV joints used on Landcruisers (and other vehicles) can be damaged if the steering stops are mis-adjusted and the joints are flexed beyond their maximum design angle. Have the front end alignment (particularly the steering geometry) checked when you have the joints repaired. > The jeep is still covered my garage, and is due to > be serviced within a few weeks. Will I have to pay for the new parts? That depends on why they failed. > Thanks in advance -- Paul Hovnanian ------------------------------------------------------------------ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
