Moog Just wanted to report that the moog sway bar bushings & end links hooked up with no problems. They are a lot heavier than OEM. I was suprised to find the original bushings & end links in fair shape after 135 or so thousand miles. I'll not be doing that service again.

Moog makes them. I don't have the part numbers handy but just bought all of them for the rear (including complete end links) at O'Reillys.

How about Moog I know a lot of folks here have more experience than I do and could have answered that. In any case, I discovered that moog has 4-runner end links and read sway bar bushings. The rear end links are part #K90619 (need two) and are 32. each. The bar bushing kit was K90551 and is...

My 1998 came without the fog (or driving?) lights. However, a guy on e-bay "snappylights" has a few more OEM Hella kits. It has the Toyota switch, mounting brackets, wiring with integrated connectors, directions, zip-ties, & of course the lights with clips designed to mount to our trim. You...

The broken rod was the leading theory but I was down a vehicle and had to focus on getting it going again. There was actually a hole about the size of a silver dollar on the front, passenger side of the engine. I dropped the oil pan just to see. It looked like a 20mm canon shell hit the...

I may be interested in one that is available as well. Our three CD changer was great until it closed and broke. I 'd like to use a single slot CD player if it's compatable. I don't know if the guts back there connect from year to year or not.

I just replaced the bushings in our sedan and was impressed with the improvement. Hoping to do the same on our '98 4-Runner, I looked it up on the Energy Suspension web site. They show a full kit for the 3rd generation design up to '97. I did not know that there were many changes to the...

My 1998 engine blew up last year while going down the highway with about 120,000 miles in it. I could not believe it bacause all sechduled maintenance had been done. I went to get a salvage engine in my old Toyota 1984 Extra Cab. No one could figure out what hapened.

Well, that's a good point. I bought it at 60K and began maintaining it there. Still, I would have expected a few symptoms before failure.

I had previously put 200K on an 80s Extra-Cab and so did not expect my 1998 v-6 to grenade on the highway the way it did. I hope some old hands can help figure out what happened. I bought it at 60K and had 115K on it last week when it detonated. I used a few helpful guides to do the timing...
