Passenger rear seatbelt retractor to 84062

I live in UT County but I work in Sandy, so WVC is prob doable - though they don't have overly convenient business hours if you work a regular 9-5 (why not open on Saturday?) Thanks for the tip about Penguin Auto though - I think I was being too lazy in my internet searching...

I have a bad retractor on the passenger rear of my 4Runner. I pulled it out yesterday to try to wind it, but there was a kink in the spring and my attempts to rewind it unseated the spring from the center connector that winds the spring. It's easy enough to pull, I figured I'd grab one from a...

done-zo Stock Tokicos, in the immortal words of Kenny Powers: "You're f%$#ing out!" A few things I noticed though: - On the passenger rotor, I have a few solid pad impressions, which might explain some of that famous brake judder. Any tips for getting those off without turning the rotor...

Thanks for the reply - I was concerned that the strap was holding it closed, so that's good to know. I didn't order upper bushings (or any bushings for the strut, just sway bar bushings to replace at the same time...) - do those strut bushings need to be replaced?

Hi there, 1996 Limited with auto trans, 151k miles, completely stock checking in. My 4Runner also appears to still have the OE Tokicos on. I noticed some floating on the highway, and some cupping on my tires and figured struts might be a good place to start to repair the combination of those...

This is what greeted me when I pulled back the cover on the harness: I was clearly missing more functionality than just the window operation (I know rear hatch light and probably defroster as well...) and another wire was just about to break. I spliced in about an inch of wire and covered...

Thanks for the reply! I'll look into that ASAP.

Has anyone seen this? If i try to use to center console button to operate the rear window, the rear wiper actually goes on. The key works in the rear hatch to move the window up or down (so the window works), and the rear wiper control on the wiper stalk works as normal... Thoughts? How would...

well, I've done a bunch of different things - no real results though. Turned on 4WD, engaged neutral and 4Lo, park, reverse, it's ever-present. I don't see any issues with the trans fluid or oil. I can't tell if the tone gets higher pitched at higher revs because engine noise drowns it out. My...

Yeah, I lurked a bit in this forum before I bought this car and knew the pink milkshake can be a looming shadow. I can't check the trans level right now - but I feel pretty good that it's not the pink milkshake, I was checking out the radiator a few days ago and it was not at all foamy (though...

Thanks for the reply. It's an automatic transmission. I first heard it while climbing out of the cab, engine still running, transmission in park. However the tone persists in all gears (at least while not moving, I can't otherwise hear it over the engine/wind noise and I can't exactly get close...

Hey guys, I've done a bunch of searches, but can't find anything that quite describes what I'm hearing on my (new to me) 1996 LTD, 151k miles. When running, there is a high-pitched tone that can be lost in the engine noise, and can't be heard in the cab, but is certainly there. I crawled...
