Steering Column Adjuster Motor Grinding
billydpowell replied to Emperor Penguin's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
as a NEW member, the FIRST thing you need to do is SEARCH other people's steering problems, this has been covered for years. there are even videos showing you how to fix it.. THEN if you dont understand, ask for help. a 5 cent garden hose washer will fix it (usually). see videos.. 2 screws to remove the covers, then 3 screws to remove the plate and you are looking at it. -
boy you said a mouthful with that post...
-
OK, you ask for advice, and you got mine. so now go and do what you want to do. I doubt you needed the gear, just a 5 cent garden hose washer.. if you would READ instead of just asking questions, you would know how to fix some of your items good luck...

since it is a 91 model, I would try to buy the steering column out of another Lexus, watch Craigslist, for parting out.. there are several listed.

OCV clogged on pass side, any warnings for me?
billydpowell replied to billydpowell's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
OK, never mind , I got it all fixed... removed all the plastic housings on the right side, actually just used the air intake to swivel it up out of the way, and removed the bolt holding the OCV in its chamber, slid it up and washed it out with WD40 top clean it out, reassembled it and went for a drive, and in less than a mile the lights went out and it was running like always.... not a bad days work for a almost 85 year old guy... of course I am very tired and will expect much pain tomorrow, but it didnt cost anything but work.. and I didnt know I could do it.. MLK closures forced me into action... Oh I did split one vacuum hose that I will need to replace (it is too short to trim down). Below is my old shop I owned for 30 years.... I retired in 96, at 62 years old, and that was 23 years ago... -
Stranger Things - 92 LS400 alternator saga continues - I think :o)
billydpowell replied to threepwood's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
ok, I have a 99ls, bought in early 2010, I wrapped my alternator in a clorex bottle and it has been working for 7 years now -
you are right. they go in the "POCKET" on the doors as a trim panel at the top.. glue them in..

I will put an end to this mystery..... these are the trim finish panels that fit the "hole" in all 4 doors, you cant see them, but your fingers feel them when you use the opening to close the door.... they seem to fit 95-2000
-
Can anyone tell me what these parts go to - 67775-50030 and 67774-50020? I have a 96 LS400. Lexus Parts Dept. can't find these part numbers. ARE THESE FOR A 96 LEXUS LS400?
