Everything was successfully installed today. Total labor cost was $500 (same as the estimate). My 4Runner drives and steers so nice now. Obviously replacing 21-year-old coils, shocks, and steering bushings will make a dramatic difference. Everything removed today was original from the factory. My 4Runner has almost 220,000 miles. I’m so glad I went with the ‘99 “tall” rear coils - looks so much better without the rear end sag. My original 2001 coils were shorter from the factory plus a little tired and rusty.
I highly recommend the Energy Suspension rack and pinion bushings kit. My mechanic said that they went in without a problem. My steering is so tight and precise now.
My next project is to refresh the front suspension. I already have OEM parts selected in my Toyota cart.
