From the diagram you noted I'm not sure if it would be 48302 or 48306. Maybe it is both.

I may not have d escribed it correctly. It is about 4" long and actually acts as a cushion if the spring is too much.

Replacing rear springs. On one of them the rubber 'cushion, that sits within the spring has come/broken off. What are these rubber things called and are they easy to find/replace? Guess I should maybe replace both while at it?

Thanks again. For the control arm bushings is it the front or rear or both you suggest?

Thank you for the quick response. I will look for the bilsteins. I assume new springs on front would be appropriate as well? Could find the Moog springs for back but didn't see that for front. It was also recommended that I replace upper ball joints and some tie rods as well as idler arm.

My 1990 4cyl 4wd 4runner has 390,000 km on it. I know that it requires new shocks. Is it advisable that I also replace springs (the truck isn't necessarily sagging). Do springs typically need to be replaced. Also is there a particular shock I should consider - was thinking of the monroe...

My 1990 4wd, 4cyl 4Runner has over 350k km. Still runs great. Was advised the other day during an oil change that the RF inner/outer tie rods, RF idler arm, LF upper ball joint and all shocks need replacing. I have done some reading on the internet (including this site) and have a bit of a...

do you still have your free running boards - or did you take to the dump?

My drivers side tail light on 1990 4Runner isn't working. Assumed it was straight bulb replacement. However, upon opening things up I see that the bulb is good (actually tested it on the other side). Wiring and connections etc all look good. Tail light fuse is good as well. Any suggestions...

Just had my parking brake cable replace (it broke near the handle) my 1990 4Runner. Was charged 2 hours of time (which seemed a little high). At any rate, my clutch pedal is now behaving noticably differently - sticking somewhat at the bottom. Could the replacement of the parking brake cable...

It is a 4cyl 5spd manual transmission. Not sure if ADD (not even sure what that is).

The 4WD on my 1990 4Runner has stopped working (as has the 4WD indicator light on the dash). I have been advised that it is my 4WD switch within the transfer case that needs replacement. Can anyone tell me what this part is (I would like to find it and price it out). And, whether this...

Turns out it was the ignition wires - replaced them this morning. Toyota didn't think it was ignition wires but I replaced them with NGK myself and it fixed the problem.

My 1990 4Runner has run like a clock for years. Some light 'chugging' started to occur a few weeks back - when driving along it just feels like it misses on occassion, loses power for a second. It seemed to me like it was an electrical problem of some kind (plugs, wires or something). I replaced...
