I got my car back from the body shop after a wreck and I’m finding a lot of issues with work they did where they were either negligent or not familiar with specific parts. I’m not sure but one of the issues I found was my LCA bolts were not torqued to spec which sent me on a wild goose chase trying to find the noise. I finally figured it out and while putting my front end back together I noticed my front radiator support brackets have 2 spacers but have 3 screws. Now I don’t remember explicitly whether there was a third spacer but while torquing the bolts to spec it almost appeared as the welded tab bent to the bracket, further leading me to believe I need a spacer.
I’m assuming they either lost the spacers or forgot to put them back on.
I did some browsing and cannot find a spacer kit independently so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
The first photo is of another 4runner I found on the internet that appears to have the spacer I need. The following pictures are of my truck.
Hey Just noticed your post, usually you buy a swaybar relocation bracket that comes with the spacers needed for radiator support bracket. Hopefully you already figured it out, but figured I would chime in
