So went to Discount Tire yesterday for winter tire changeover. They suggested checking the alignment and I agreed. The alignment tech checked the alignment and came back saying it needs alignment adjusted. Also mentioned that he took a look down there and doesn't look terribly rusted, and he...

Nevermind. It works now. It started to do normal blinking on my way home from work today. Everything works as it should.

My halogen turn signal bulb went out, so I swapped it with an LED one. This is the exact one that I bought: Amazon.com: AUXITO 1156 LED Bulbs Amber Yellow 400% Super Bright 7506 BA15S P21W LED Bulb with Projector for Front Rear LED Turn Signal Bulb DRL Marker Blinker Parking Lights, Pack of 2 ...

Yeap, they work no problem. I swapped both of my CV Axles with 5th gen part in summer of 2022. No problem so far. Part Number Part Name Price Quantity Total 43430-60082 CV Axle (Left, Right, Front) $311.03 2 $622.06 90178-28002 Nut Flange $3.84 2 $7.68 95381-04045 Pin Cotter $1.25 2 $2.50...

Thank you, Mike! That helps me a lot.

Crikeymike Hi, Mike. I am trying to update my 14 year old suspension and get rid of X-REAS with a mild lift. About 2-2.5" of lift so I don't need to add or update other components like UCA, diff drop, or sway bar. Currently running with aftermarket skid plate and rear drawer setup that I made...

I'm running Centric Cryo-treated rotors with Akebono pads on mine. More than 6 years and no warping.

Sorry can't really hear the whining in the video, but is the noise cyclical or rythmic whine? Do you feel the vibration in the steering wheel at all? Does it go away if you put it in 4WD? If so, I would point to front differential needle bearing on the driver side.

I personally don't have experience with this kit, but by reading the Q&A and reviews from the product, looks like you only need one to program both garage doors.

The newer garage door opener (2011 or newer I think) doesn't work with older car's homelink. I am in a newer (built 2016) home as well and Homelink in my 2009 4Runner doesn't work with it. Look into "Homelink Bridge Kit" if you want to make it work. I still carry garage door opener remote in my...

Only a little over 90K miles on the GX. I was surprised to find out both sides of the seal fail like that. My 09 4Runner has more than 160K miles and never had problem with the seal. Good point on the breather, I haven't checked that yet. Might explain the reason why the seals had premature...

Thank you everybody for pointing out the possibility of rear axle seal leak. I did not think of that. And as I do more research on that issue, it's a telltale sign of axle seal leak, and to confirm, I can smell it! Now I kind of wish it was brake caliper - that's much easier issue. Looks like...

This is for my 2014 GX460, but I believe GX and 4Runner share same brake components so posting here for help. I just found out the rear brake calipers (both sides, a little worse on left side) are wet and possibly leaking brake fluid. But I haven't yet had a low brake fluid and it still brakes...

I see. Thanks for the info. That's what I am worried about, and my mileage is getting up there. But whole alternator, radiator, water pump replacement job sounds more like an entire weekend job, where as just the radiator can be done in an afternoon... yeah... I work slow... hehe..

Why embarrassed? You should be Proud! How about alternator?
