Is it bad, that I actually think the way he has it is just fine :rockon: I used to load my 2 person hobie alone, and it was a PITA.

Im digging this up because I have done everything all the other threads say to do for this damn P0440 code. I am now going to check my filler neck in hopes that I can fix it without needing to replace my charcoal canister. So far I have replaced the 02 sensor, the AF sensor (i have a CA...

awesome man, thanks. i asked the PO about the waterpump/timing belt before I bought the car, and he said the dealer inspected it, and said it was ok. now, i DID NOT believe him, but its just good to hear that it may have another several months before I can get to it. I will be sure to check...

Ok, so Im all over the forum for pretty much the same thing. We bought a used 2001 with 120k miles. Everything looks great as far as records, hell the PO even had the dealership do all the oil changes. I had them look up the service records and the last "major" service done at the dealership...

so, i took it to my mechanic. he adjusted the drums for $40. front end dive is like 95% gone now! thanks all. NOW...point me to an install "how to" on the shocks. I already bought them. I bought the pre-assembled setup, so no spring compression looks to be needed. but I got to admit...im...

hate to do it, but right now i just dont have the time to mess with it. I am gong to replace the shocks/struts myself, but if I were to take it somewhere to have the rear brakes checked/adjusted....what price range am I looking at? Can any mechanic shop handle it? If its a cheap enough job...

got all the shocks in, and started looking under the truck to get an idea what I am up against. looks pretty straight forward. i did some research on adjusting the rear drums....i tried rolling backwards i nreverse and pulling up the e brake like 25 times...didnt work very well. made me...

im in austin, tx - no worry about snow or salt. when checking bellcranks...what I am looking for? what is bad?

What did you end up doing for this? I am in the same boat. Searching around for some how to on this.

got a link to the adjustment process? this 4runner is pretty new to me.

It doesnt take much to get me to bust out the reciprocating saw. :ak472:

I like the way you think.....thx edit - i just ordered it! thanks again for the extra $45. install should be easy.....right?

any reason not to do this...the fronts are pre assembled. I need quick, easy, and cheapish....this is not my toy just needs to drive well for the wife to stop whining. Quick Strut Monroe Quick Strut Part No: 171351L $135.99 Add'l Discount: -$20.40 $115.59 Buy Monroe Quick Strut 171351L at...
