The great renovation saga. (part 2) — Toyota 4Runner, 3.4 liter, 1999

The "good guys" from the Toyota Land Cruiser Club, on Pokhodny proezd, took up the repair. ( www.tlcc.ru )
There won't be much truth about the repair itself. Briefly, you can write like this: "did done, and finally completed." Promised in 2 months, did 6.

Record dated 06/30/2008
Under warranty, after repair, the seals at the output of the power steering high-pressure line were replaced. (flowing).

It looks like freon is leaving (I bought an additional sealing ring).
I'm going to buy additional caps for attaching interior panels (there are none or they are the wrong color).

At the moment, the car is steadily moving at a speed of ... 90 km / h. Acceleration to a hundred revealed uneven operation of the front brakes (I will put a caliper repair kit, it seems that they have acidified for six months of repair).

Before the swing knuckles, on June 24, the car went a maximum of 80. Any bump - and the car walked half a meter to the side, and most importantly - because of the bent fists, any gentle arc was passed at a maximum of 60 km / h.

June 25 has already done the 3rd! similarity collapse, since May. Castor never returned to normal. Looks like TLCC missed the frame repair after all.

The total restoration budget has already passed 300,000 rubles.

The promised repair period - 2-3 months stretched for 6 months.

And, worst of all, it's never over.

You need to change the front and rear bumpers, something to do with the frame ...

Money - and the dog would be with them, but with time - complete seams. All plans are down the drain.

The reason for the "shaking" of the car at a speed of a hundred or more was revealed. Killed brake discs and soured calipers. Of the 8 pistons, only 4 outer pistons moved normally. With a smooth pressure on the brake, the internal pistons came out slowly, with a sharp - they were wedged.

Replaced:
Repair kit for calipers.
Pistons in calipers (all).
Brake discs.
Brake pads.

The total amount is about 14,000 rubles.

Found jambs TLCC:
Not twisted to the end of the front stabilizer bar. Nuts were "baited", but not tightened. It did not fall off only due to the fact that almost immediately after leaving the service I had to climb into the "chacha", which served as a thread lock. I'll try to soak with a bucket.

Probable TLCC jamb.
It looks like freon is poisoning in the area of ​​u200bu200bthe reservoir - receiver (tank in oil).

Found stocks:
The front lambdazond seems to have crumbled (they do not like sharp blows), the check engine is on.

The Bilstein B6 Sport front shock absorbers (the most annoying, absolutely serviceable) will have to be changed due to the obscene quality of the lower silent blocks.

TOTAL, about 336,000 have already been spent on restoration.

Not done. Replacing the front bumper. Minimum 20,000 rubles.
On a good note, the rear bumper also needs to be changed. Sum - ?

In the end, the total cost of repairs came up to 400,000
