20 year old vehicle from the rust belt with no stuck parts? If thats the case document the R&R for Ripples Belive or Not.

The parts are warranted (maybe they'll honor it) but in any case, the big part of that, labor, is on your dime (or your time if you have the equipment and are capable. Just get a high quality, oem quality, Japanese made bearings and hub assembly.

Find a well cared for 4th gen v8 (preferably sport edition). Full time 4 wheel drive. You'll be smiling. Or an LX-470 if you like the luxury bloated approach. Except for the superior transfer case used in the Lexus they are pretty much the same vehicle. We have both and it's easy to forget...

Eastwoodcompany.com Has all the supplies you'll ever need for body and frame repair you'll ever need. Decent priceing too.

Dang that thing is hard to look at. I guess some folks have too much time and money and too little common sense.

Crazy good deal! Did you use a mask and a gu.... Seriously sounds like you scored. ...

Agreed. I'm definitely happy with the way the vehicle is handling. I think I'll leave things as is. I didn't mention the rear shocks were replaced about 15k ago with KYBs that give it a slight lift. The front struts also were trashed with the rest of my front end. In retrospect I believe what...

Good to know. I thought was happy but, How much shipped to 80816? Thank you, Bob

Thanks for the advice but I replaced everything with a trq kit and kyb heavy duty monotube ready struts. I'm quite happy with the results. As for the oem control arms they went in a pile with the oem half-shalfs. Maybe I'll rebuild them all some day (week? month? year?) I should live so long...

Nice write up. I'd like to add... ...somewhere along the line I learned that when pushing the pistons back into the rotors its not a bad idea to open the bleeders and push that old fluid out rather than back into the system. Of course you'll need to avoid getting air into the system. I use the...

Thank you it seems it's part #48409 60020. I'm still not positive. $19 on Amazon. Two of them (1 for each side) qualifies for free shipping and free return if necessary. I'll take the other side apart first and see if I can get that part out in one piece. The front adjust cam popped off the...

It's the sleeve the goes between the forward front control arm adjustment bolt and the inner metal sleeve of the control arm bushing. Adjustment bolt is out but the sleeve is totally bonded to the bushing and it appears I'll have to cut the adjusters sleeve to remove the control arm. That...

Suzuki sidekick. But I have a Toyota because zukes we can't buy or ship into USA. Cheap, reliable, great economy and pretty much go anywhere any Toyota will. But we can't have them over here. Go figure?

I was just researching TRQ. Thanks for the input. I can get them for about 300 dollars lest than moog. They are made in Turkey, correc I guess that's my choice.

Forgot to mention. 2004 sport edition. V8. Xreas removed.
