1992 Toyota Land Cruiser Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Land Cruiser tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Browse Toyota Land Cruiser tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

1992 Land Cruiser Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

During the first few years you had your 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Land Cruiser feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump.

We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

1992 Toyota Land Cruiser Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why does my Land Cruiser tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Land Cruiser combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

  • What causes A/C system leaks?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Land Cruiser’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Land Cruiser’s A/C to work?  Damaged or worn components in your Land Cruiser’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

  • Can my Toyota Land Cruiser leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota Land Cruiser transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Is it okay to drive a Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged.
