Coil Springs Not The Problem I replaced the existing Toyota OEM coil springs, sway bar bushings, and end-link stabilizer bushings, and these replacements didn't resolve the issue. So, the original coil springs and the above were fine. So, I'm back to the issue being the Bilstein BE-2450...

Coil Springs Not The Problem Replaced all four coil springs, sway bar + end-link bushings (front and rear), and still the same issue of residual bounce + side-to-side rocking. Coil springs were not "tired" after all, and still in good shape. So this brings the source of the problem back to...

Coil Spring Height Difference + Bilstein HD Shock I see you are very satisfied with 2000 4Runner stock coil springs + Bilstein HD shocks. Do you know if the 2000 4Runner coil springs are exactly the same height/length as 1999? If so, then your application would be a match. My issue is the...

Core Issue with Bilstein HD Shocks and 2001 4Runner It seems you have the right combination 1999 Toyota OEM Coils + Bilstein HD Shocks. Although, I have the same "residual bounce" (side-to-side) and "lack of control" /"jerking" of vehicle over heavy bumps/potholes. Additionally, I can do two...

Problem with Bilstein Shocks + 2001 Coil Springs - Ride still "Bouncing" Hello, I just had new 2001 Toyota OEM coil springs (front and rear) + sway bar and end link bushings (front and rear) replaced to try and resolve "residual bouncing" issue. This helped a bit in "tightness of feel" of...

"Up and Down" Motion Techno, Thanks for your detailed response. I'll check the tie rods when I can ... but the 4Runner doesn't "wander" left-to-right. Yes, the vehicle moves up and down (from driver's side to passenger side, back and forth) ... My description isn't that vivid, but picture...

Same Side-to-Side Motion Hello, I have the same side-to-side motion/"jerkiness" issue with 2001 4Runner SR5 (4WD) on highway or any speed. Especially when wheels are at different road surface levels (e.g. waves in road, potholes, speed bumps). I can shake "side-to-side" the car (more than...

Moog Coil Springs Equivalent to OEM Specs Hello, I see standard OEM coil springs are the consensus here. Could someone comment on Moog coil springs which are supposed to be OEM equivalennt (same standard height)? Also, any suggestion on variable versus constant rate (with bilstein shocks)...

Moog or Toyota OEM Coil Springs Thanks for the comments about Moog and Old Man Enu coil springs. I see you've commented that the Moog coil springs may be thicker than Toyota OEM coil springs. 1. Which would you say offers a "better" ride, that will eliminate side-to-side / "jerkiness" in...
