I have a 2023 ORP that I took in for an alignment. Although the vehicle drove fine, it now seems a little off. It tracks straight, but when turning, the vehicle seems like it's in a bind and there's a lot more resistance, specifically when turning left. Can anyone help and give me some insight...

Great way to diagnose my issue, thanks! Recently my V8 04 has been occasionally smelling like burnt rubber inside the cabin, not all the time, but very often. It can happen during short and long drives. I noticed around the valve cover gasket area there is a build up of oil and directly below it...

Resurrecting an old thread... When that oil leaks/drops onto the header like that, does it create a burning rubber smell?

Thanks Keaker. Appreciate this info. I searched Google with some return but not a whole lot of information. I will most definitely check the clutch fan. That seems to be what some folks suggest to do and describe as a culprit to the system purging itself.

The other day my 2003 V8 was idling in my drive way with the AC on full blast. I had just driven it around town and it had been idling for about 5 minutes. All the sudden a loud quick purge came from the engine bay and a cloud of smoke or dust came from underneath the runner. 1 minute later, it...

I have FJ coils in my rear and had a really bad lean as well. I recently installed some 5100s in the rear and while doing so, I added a 1.5 Daystar spacer on the driver's rear. Now the rear end is completely level. Hope this helps ya.

Yes, I was talking about staggering the clips right to left. While the OEM coils are side specific to address the lean, my used coils were sagging significantly more on the driver's side regardless. While I did not stagger the clips on the 5100, I added the Toytec spacer and the front is...

I purchased my SR5 used and it came like that. Because second hand units can be had pretty cheaply, I opted to just install a double din head unit.

What kind of grease did you use?

I do not have any documentation, but I ran into an issue with my 2003 V8 two years ago with the actuator getting stuck in 4 low. The vehicle would allow me to lock the center diff, but it would not allow me to enter 4 HI. I purchased the vehicle second hand and was not expecting an almost $1500...

Leveled out my rear end while installing some 5100s. Used a rear Daystar 1.5 on the driver's rear and now both sit at 22 1/8 hub to fender. Next will be the fronts.

Resurrecting an old thread. I am currently attempting to correct this lean and am half way complete. I added a Daystar rear 1.5 to the driver's rear and the back is sitting even now. But this did not have any affect on the front. The front is still sagging a little over 1/4 inch on the driver's...

You have probably already completed your install. But to chime in for future folks searching for more information. I just installed 5100's in the rear with my OEM FJ springs. I do not have any stock measurements, but my rear was sitting with a pretty bad 4runner lean on the driver's side with...

I read your link, thanks for sharing! Noticed that your staggered the fronts. Did you accomplish leveling out the notorious 4runner lean by doing so? I will be tackling my fronts this weekend, with OEM FJ coils and 5100s. My plan was to address the lean with a Toytec 1/4inch spacer on the...

Would like the community's thoughts. I am currently am running complete FJ struts and coils at the moment with 1/4" Toytec spacers on both front struts. My measurements are as below in inches: DF 20 3/4 PF 21 1/8 DR 20 1/2 PR 22 1/8 I just picked up some brand new 5100s for all 4 corners...
