It was probably the steering dampener and/or bushings. It is very common for a Full Time 4WD to have this problem after that many miles. It is a very simple and inexpensive problem to correct. BTW, nearly all LX 450's have a center locking diff. It engages when you shift to 4 Lo. Comparing this vehicle to your chevy is an apples to oranges situation.


I tend to mix the terms around, but all the FJ80's and 450s have a center locking diff, all this does is switch the vehicle from AWD to 4WD. The 93-97's had a center diff locker option, where you could lock both the front & rear diffs in addition to the center (I believe it's basically like the e-lockers available on the 4Runners & Tacos)
