Looking to get an iPod adapter....any ideas on where to start

So I think I need to replace the driver front caliper again-the last time was about 2 years ago-I bought a reman from parts plus...I have a pretty bad pull and wobble....and when I took it apart it looks like the inside lower piston is froze My question is..any suggestions on what caliper to...

So I am in the process of changing the front bearing on my 4wd 04....a few questions maybe I can get some help on: Is it possible for the hub to get worn down from getting a bearing pressed on/off too many times?...I took it all a part and the shop that was doing the press on/off said that it...

I have an 04 sr5 with 105K...I replaced the passenger side caliper about 2.5 yrs ago with a parts plus version... I have a pretty bad chatter when apppling the brakes...It is not constaint...just sporadic...which makes me believe it is not the rotors...pads are like 75% last week i took the...

ok thanks...i touqued it to 160...the max my wrench would go to..i actually left the duct cover off, installed the wheel, and lowred the truck, and then used the torque wrench... I wanted to have the dust cover installed, but was under the impression that once the bearing is pressed on you...

AM update....got it all put back togther last night....runs nice...no helicopter humm...not a hard job at all...2 hrs max time invloved. Bad news was i dropped off the old bearing, hub and new bearing to the corner garage, who sayd they had done a million...but they forgot to put the dust cover...

ok...not to hijack this thread...but i started to change mine out yesterday...not a hard job at all..I Followed on of the previous threads on here with step by step and photos..>Thanks to the menber that posted... i had one question...after i pulled the old bearing/hub off the end of the cv...

I just took my wife to drive a 2010 LTd today....Very nice...We currently have a 04 SR5, that was hers till i scooped it up....she went to a Acadia for the 3rd row...I have to say...i am not inpressed with the GMC(and even less when i found out the trade value)...We are on a 3rd yota(hopefully...

ok, an up date to this...the problem is getting worse by the week...so this is what i have done; 1-took it to the stealership-have them look at it and road test..put it on the lift..told me the bearings were fine...might be in the begining stages of going bad, but not enough to warrent...

so i called the dealer and a local parts shop...and they both said the bearing assembly is a direct replacment...slide in and out... argh....

After looking around here...maybe it might be the one of the rear bearings...i never thought of that. I did not repack the fronts, the whole hub was replaced...i hope...The person I bought it from replaced it...

Ok i am banging my head against the wall on this one...the cabin noise on my 04 has gotton progressivly(SP?) worse over the past few weeks. It did get lounder in Jan when I went from a set of Dueller Ht's to Wranglers with a more agressive tread pattern...and I expected that. My question is...

after i washed the wheels about 2 days ago, i drove about 100 miles and notice the drivers wheels was covered in brake dust...Having gone through this before (the other side last year...but i paid a clown to fix it...long story for another thread...he put the wrong caliper on the truck and gave...

ok...so i think the driver front caliper is shot....for a great price at advance auto for $70 for a replacement.... question for the group...how hard is it to replace...i am thinking of doing it my self, and want to be prepared for the worse... Any insight will be great...

I just did both of my cv shafts this week...It started out with just buying OEM replacment boot reduild kits from toyota...$35.00 plus my local shop to install..he said about $300 labor for both sides..it calls for about 2.5 hrs per side to remove and re-install....when he took them out he said...
