Replaced the rear struts on the '01 lw300 this weekend. One shock was leaking oil and completely dead. Got the new parts through Autozone and got the strut mount kits in addition to the struts. Good thing as in order to remove the old strut from the bracket, some flame wrenching was needed and things got a bit toasted.
Found the source of the klunk. Wasn't the bad shock as I thought but rather a worn sway bar anchor bushing. I had ordered the bushings but wound up getting the end bushings rather than the ones I needed. Strange that Autozone only had the end bushings. I'll look around to see who has the right ones. In the mean time, shimmed the worn bushing with a piece of garden hose. Very quiet now and good ride.
Next project is to replace the A/C compressor. The clutch had died and was just going to change out the clutch. Couldn't get it loose so will go for the whole compressor. Probably just as good, this weekend, the A/C clutch bearing started making bad noises. I may just take the car to a shop to have this done. (Man's got to know his limitations)
