IFS 100 cruiser A arm cracks

It is not missing it is on page 2.

Flash, saying that ALL IFS vehicles experience problems because of the 100 series is like saying that ALL diesel engine have problems because of the GU series II.

And Flash, you obviously don't know alot obout IFS vehicles as a torn boot is not going to stop you going anywhere, I had torn boots on my Rocky's CV's for years before they packed it in after a trip to wedge island and some salty sand finally got it's way it there.

PS, Flash, have a look at my Rig Pic and tell me how easy you think it would be to damage my CV boots, they are tucked up out the way, the front diff is also tucked up out the way behind a cross member and then a bash plate goes over that, show me a Live axel vehicle with that much protection...
Live axel vehicles just hang their wedding tackle out waiting to hit a termite nest and destroy your front diff.

John,

It is not missing it is on page 2. There are two posts that have been removed since Friday - One a duplicate loaded in error and another from Eric that we have already talked to him about. In the last three weeks there has been only 8 threads removed due to moderation, sometimes we load test threads a kill them off to test a new function or repond to feedback from others that report problems with posting, so the ID list is not always a good guage to the possible moderation of the system.

We have had some feedback in the last few days that some people need to perform a refresh on subsequent pages of the forum system - this may be why you guys did not see the original post from GO_OFFROAD however it is still sitting there.

Thanks David.
"Yeah" ! did just that, refreshed and went looking and it is on page 2.

Man, I went to page 2 4 times trying to find it, from page one, page 3, and thought it must have dissapeared, didnt think it would of been moderated, just thought it might of been a "damn electric box" kind of thing... ;-)

The one that I mentioned last week which was cracked but not broken yet was standard shocks, standard T bars which were un adjusted for lift [standard height] car had bullbar and dual batts.

I know prado has different ifs to 100 - does it have these probs - how robust is it?

The prado is a better set up IMHO, as it is coil over strut front end, and the factory bushes lastw ell in this set up,a nd there is no torsion effect on anything like the 100 series set up.

I think I can say they are pretty robust, the rack steering ends on the 90 series seem to be the first part to wear, and they are easily replaced, my car gets a pretty good go in the bush, have bent 2 ROH track 2 rims so far, run 40 series offset, so they are 16x8" and stick out well, and havent damaged the front end of the vehicle yet, and only knocked the front end out of alignment slightly once, but that was when I put the biggest bend in the rim too ;-)

Its fair to say, given the data base we have now started on the 100scool email list at www.lcool.org that now the arms are shown to be an issue with standard shocks and T bars, toyota cant say the aftermarket T bar could be the cause of the issue.

Toyota are usually very good with warranty issues, and if you are having a problem, normally it means just go to another dealer.

I note you are in Melbourne, and from the www.lcool.org guys, Nunawading Toyota has ben excellent to deal with re warranty issues in the past.

May be worth a try if your current dealer isnt helpful.
