Did you change the Control Leading Arm? my thump seems to be getting worse slowly. Jay, "did you fall in the pool?"

yea that trail is pretty far from me too, and I have doubts with my factory gen 1 even being able to do it

There's a Facebook page? Isn't that what the forums for? Lol can someone link it?

So is there no interest in this other than BillyGoats and I?

Hey guys, It would be cool to do a meet up in Southern California, (This was in another thread but it needs its own) And to go off roading somewhere together. I myself am in La Cresenta and I have my Gen 1 ready to go. Im usually free on Saturdays Anyone have any input? I dont know...

I'm up for it, I have a friend with a jeep who would jump at the chance of off roading too, maybe we should start a seperate thread for a so-cal Monty off-road gig? And that is a nice 7 series and montero! Best of both worlds.

Obetski! whos 7 Series is in the background of one of your pics on page 1? Because if I didnt get my gen 1 montero, i'd be sporting a 2001 E38 750il, with all of its 5.4L V12 goodness! I like the reliability of my montero though, a old BMW is always a wallet killer. And im in So-Cal too, well to...

I have that "thump" too, but it only happens if i push the gas a little too hard after letting it go, maybe i should replace my trailing arm bushings too. hmm

So im going to attempt this on my 1989 montero, since i dont have all the power options, but i really would like cruise control, and since there arent any better options, i think factory will be best, now I just have to find a monty with a cruise control i can rip out lol

oooooh do you mean the screw on top of the steering wheel gearbox? Do I tighten or loosen it to adjust slack?

Are you talking about the two bolts used to make sure it doesnt slip?

actually, I adjusted my torsion bars today because they started to sag in the front, I leveled the car up and now the steering is perfect! it was a pain in the *** to do though, rusty bolts and not enough help ( alone) theres a nominal amount of play now in the steering and I dont feel like im...

no play in anything but it seems like the power steering gearbox has a small leak where the shaft comes out.

Hey guys, long time no post. Monty is great, (we run a bakery) its carried up to 1200lb in the trunk on occasion ( and thats not a guess) but the steering play seems like its gotten to the point where its become bothersome. could the steering gearbox have gone bad? Im at 183k miles.. do the gen...

Guys, im also having the same problem with my 1989 montero, Can someone PLEASE tell me where the sensor is so I can replace it,
