    How to: Replace steering rack guide- Pictures

    Now that the rack guide is tighter, yes. You may need to regrease and reset it, especially if your rack was quite worn from the roller.

    **Rear Coil Spring Discussion - The Perfect 3rd Gen Rear Spring**

    Well originally I had the springs alone but am now carrying more weight on a regular basis and towing a race car fully loaded and happened to do a prado rear disc conversion recently, and got the conical bump stops too. I had had some 15mm packers for a long time on the shelf but when I went to...

    CV Axle Replacement (HD Pictures)

    I don't think so. I work on surfs (albeit not 4runners but the same parts) a lot. The last one I did the guy had done exactly that and stretched all his bolts, they looked like masai women..... The 96-02 4runner manual has the torque as 37ft/lbs. So does the prado 95 series manual. (same...

    **Rear Coil Spring Discussion - The Perfect 3rd Gen Rear Spring**

    I have had the C59-137V in for the last few years in a 99 surf. about 2.5-3" lift, good ride, but now towing the race car fully loaded up it's a bit bum down. Also have an aux tank in now too so may try some spacers first. Shocks are by far the dominant factor with ride quality. Surprisingly...
