question about ifs brace
When I used to wheel my old 87 4Runner my alignment would be a good bit off and id have to get it realigned. Well I took my 94 out to a park and it did the same thing. If I install a ifs brace that bolts on the back of the lower control arms does it help with this problem?

It wont correct it from being out of alignment, but should prevent it in the future.
Also make sure its not a balljoint/tie rod or the camber bolts that are being knocked out alignment.

A buddy I wheeled with had an old Downey brace on his IFS, seemed like it went out of alignment about as often as mine. That brace is necessary if you're planning on getting any air time though.

Just make sure the bushings are good.
The joys of wheeling ifs. Soon youll just live with it being out of alignment all the time.
