[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1423038, member: 3828"] That is a very good sign of low mileage. Typically, even at only 50k miles those relay arms are well sand blasted from road grit. Sounds like a nice score if you got a decent price on it. For those owners who have low mileage FJRs, be aware that you can usually avoid the need for replacement of the bearings or relay arm by getting them regreased early on, and then fairly regularly thereafter. I schedule mine at 25k mile intervals (about bi-yearly) along with all the other major service items (valve checks, spark plugs, coolant, air filter, etc.). The amount of grease they use during assembly at the factory is insufficient for keeping water out of the needle rollers, IMO. The bearings dont turn very far or fast, so goobering in a good amount of waterproof grease will keep them from corroding and the grease wont be flung out. [/QUOTE]
