For what it's worth, I installed the Energy Suspension polyurethane kit today and then drove for about an hour. It feels great! Thank you to everyone who suggested that. It just feels like my steering wheel and my wheels are actually connected again, a little tricky to describe. The OEM...

Thanks for the workaround! I'll start the new thread off. My '99 when I bought it in April 2020 vs a month ago in Tahoe. Not much has changed (aesthetically).

Is there a way to test the control arm bushings?

I just got an alignment, toe looks good (.07° L and .09° R). My steering wheel is slightly off center to the right which is super annoying but very bearable compared to the darting/squirrely steering. You can see in the video I attached that the rack moves a ton with slight jerking of the...

Brand new OEM steering rack. I have some uncomfortable symptoms, namely wandering in the lane and feeling like small bumps throw the 4Runner around way more than before. I read this thread, and have nearly the exact same symptoms. This thread talks about the same issues but concludes that the...

I went back a couple times and they eventually re-aligned it. They agreed that it was pulling right. Annoying process but alls well that ends well I suppose.

I just replaced my leaky old steering rack with a brand new OEM unit. The job went well but I was a couple splines off on the rag joint so I had to drive a short distance with my wheel pointing to 2 o'clock while going straight. No problem. I went under the next day and lined it up at what I...

I primarily use toyotapartsdeal when I order parts. I always shop around and rarely find a better deal. Every part I've ordered from them has been genuine Toyota but they definitely aren't a Toyota entity or dealer, so I agree with above that they are probably just reselling. Definitely legit...

Wow, yep $415.79 shipped, it’s actually cheaper to get it shipped than picked up. Cannot pass that up. Now to see what else I can add to the cart while I’m here. Thanks guys

Which ones are doing it? Doesn’t look like any near me but at that price shipped they don’t have to be nearby

Holy crap that's a good deal. Which vendor did you go with and do you know if the deal is still available? My rack and inner tie rods are toast.

Really awesome write-up and collection of information. I did this today, luckily my VIN falls in the range that doesn't require changing the circuit board. A few updates: Parts highlighted in red were not included with my fuel suction tube from Camelback Toyota, based on shopping around I...

Welcome to the forum. OBDII is a standardized protocol so all readers will be an able to read trouble codes (check engine light) and certain other parameters. There are some very inexpensive readers that you can connect to your phone with bluetooth or wifi and read trouble codes and other...

This is the only difference. I have a '99 with a '98 bumper and lower valence. It's not a limited so there aren't any flares but I can post a few pictures if you still want.

I don't think the original designer is making or selling these anymore. If you look through the thread you'll find a link to the STL files somewhere and you can print them yourself from those. At least that's what I did to print mine. It also allowed me to edit the file and make the hole...
