I have very low pressure in my shocks, therefore, there is contact being made with the tire (not sure how but the mechanic told me this). He says it's not a problem and that soonish we should get them replaced but we can drive with them as is until we are ready. We are headed for a 16 hour drive...

Hey, Thanks a lot for the offer. I might take you up on it. I'll see about getting the torque wrench (Pretty sure I have all else I will need) and how it feels. It looks super doable for me so I think i should be fine. Good to know you're up the road if I paint myself into a corner... Thanks...

Nice! My issue is usually related to rusted bolts and other things like that which you never see on youtube videos. LOL. Hopefully, I'll post a pic her of completed job in a few weeks. Thanks again!

Thanks. I had a feeling.... I watched a youtube earlier and it does seem pretty easy. Just nursing a broken collar bone for another few weeks so its not physically possible and living in a new town. Thats why I got the mechanic quote but I had a feeling right away it was BS. So as long as my...

Another question Hi. Sorry if this goes a little off topic but I just registered and apparently I am not yet allowed to start a new thread. I have a 2006 4runner that has been making a whirring noise for a couple of months. Its a long story, but a mechanic just looked at it and said wheel hub...
