Carruss

Well I took it out and dropped it in to a local power steering company that's rebuilds the steering box. Had all the seals and bearings replaced a good clean etc. which cost $350 (AUD) Refitted it and all working fine and no leaks.😉

Thanks Noel, Took a look at the other post and all noted. Funnily enough I went in to out Toyota dealer here in Cairns and they said they do not sell the repair kit I need in Australia! I asked why not and was told that it is deemed not an Australian safety standard to replace them and to buy a new one or get the old one refurbished. Quoted me around $2000 for the part so I thanked him and left the building. He did print me off the part which actually shows the seals and they are aware that they are on sale online etc. I have attached the diagram he gave me which could be either of the two at the bottom which shows all the seals . . . . . they just don't sell them!

Hello, I have a 2004 Hilux V6 ExtraCab, VZN172R which is leaking power sterling fluid. With the engine running and turning the steering we can see the fluid running out from the Pitman joint. Was wondering if this is a common thing before we have a go at fixing it. Watched plenty of YouTube videos but cannot see any for a Hilux, although basically the same principle for them all. Thoughts....

Hey Mate, Going through the same thing myself but my son has told me what I need as he had the same on his old Hilux. I currently have 15inch alloy rims but will be getting rid of them. I have a 2004 VZN172R MY04 UTILITY XTRA CAB 2DR MAN 5SP 4X4 and will be going for the the following: Wheels - Black Sunraysia 15x8 with a negative 22 offset so the tyres will sit flush with the flares Tyres - More than likely BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2s from Jax Tyres which are 32x11.5x15

Hello, First post so please go easy on me! I recently bought a 2004 Hilux Xtra Cab 3.4 V6 and was thinking about buying a canopy for it as I have been in contact with someone with one to sell. But, I only really need it for camping every so often so want to be able to install and remove relatively easily . . . if possible! Does anyone else do this or are they more suited to a permanent fitting? The other alternative is to have the sports bar on the front (which it has already) and then get a rear bar to match and then sort out a cover. Not sure what way to go but really want to be able to break it down quickly. Carruss.
