    Spider Bearing Replacement? 1998 2wd

    http://www.ncttora.com/fsm/1996/SIL/techinfo.toyota.com/ileaf/02toyrm/02toypdf/02rmsour/2002/024runne/pr/psa12wd/comp.pdf My shop quoted me $820 to replace the whole drive/propeller shaft. However, I got up under there and can see its only the bearings breaking. Everything else looks great.

    Windshield defrost switch won't go all the way over...

    Sometimes my AC/Heater switch will not go all the way to the "windshield" position. It feels stuck. Any ideas? Actually, I just got the Runner but I know for sure it has worked twice (once when checking out to buy and one time later) but, tonight going to look at Christmas lights with the...

    98 4runner 4wd

    I just got almost the same one. :) I just picked up mine too. In Houston, TX for $3k, 178k miles, 2WD Limited. I have no need for a 4WD here. I guess mudding would be a cool hobby to get into but drums and guitar keep me pretty busy. Oh and a wife and five kids...:)

    Driver side one inch lower than passenger. Why?

    Update the Driver front is only 3 3/4". The rest are correct. I am going to take it to a shop but don't want to be ignorant of the possible issues. That's why I am asking for help here. I am somewhat mechanical. I have just never done anything with suspensions.

    Driver side one inch lower than passenger. Why?

    Would that be the shock or the spring part? Could that make the back lower also?

    Driver side one inch lower than passenger. Why?

    Hi all. New member here and new to 4Runners. I just bought a 98 Limited 2wd and some how did not notice that the entire driver side is exactly one inch lower than the passenger side. Any ideas? My neighbor (he restores cars) said it was the front strut. It was in a minor accident. Has some...
