just a bit more on the GQ

Search the archives, there was a good thread 202 times before, lots of different things.

Here's a few things i would check. The power steering pumps sometimes leak, and may require attention. Rear axle oil seals are a fairly common job on a GQ with more than 130k on it, but are not that expensive. Brake callipers, usually the rears, sometimes cease, but once again, not overly expensive. Check for signs of rust in the very rear side windows, they usually look bulged or deformed, and and crunch when you push on them if the are rusted. Other than that, check all your usuals in a fourby, like underbody damage, especially to the drivetrain componentry, sill damage and the like, as this could indicate previous heavy duty offroad use, which if done properly, will not at all harm a GQ, but not everyone has brains! All in all, though, if you take it to your local fourby workshop, they will have seen a million GQ's, and therfore should be able to tell you in an instant weather anythings a bit iffy.
Hope this has helped.
