I don't know exactly how the sound was produced. I never found any metal to metal contact or signs of it. The original bushings were still torqued to spec and did not have any visible signs of issues (no tears or gaps) but they were original. I ended up asking an expert AMD, Toyota Master...

I was able to solve this with new front sway bar bushings.

Good suggestion. I've ruled out the skid plate by reproducing the issue with both the front and back (oil pan) skid plates removed.

I'm looking for advise to help diagnose a front suspension ping (not a clunk) that happens only when going over speed bumps. It sounds like it is on the drivers side. If I go over a speed bump slowly, no noise. If I go into the bump with a little speed (nothing excessive) I hear the ping...

Spring Seat Question I just installed 5100s with OME 884s and one of the spring seats moved a little during installation. The driver side spring is not flush with the lip of the spring seat (shown below, red line is the gap between the end of the spring and start of the lip). The passenger...

lbpika, no you do not need new springs. You can use your current springs with the daystar spacer lift.

Thanks for the reply, however I want to go completely OEM on my brakes.

My first DIY brake job - a few questions I'm about to do my first brake job with the help of this thread and forum. I have a 2007 Sport Edition and I plan to replace the front rotors and brake pads. I confirmed I do have the larger (casting 13WH calipers) and rotors so I selected the larger...

Would you mind posting a picture showing the end result to compare to the picture above please?

Me too. Plus lots more here, http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/15067-north-carolina-members.html.

You won't be able to get all of the oil out when doing an oil change, plan on about .5qt being stuck somewhere in the system that you cannot get out. I've never needed more than one 5qt container to properly refill mine.

Here's a thread with a few examples of the LR UCAs cracking like that http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/147049-uca-comparison.html

Thanks as long as those aren't the white clips that hold the door panel to the door that's it. I can't tell if they are showing multiple clips because they are the inner ones which are used all around the door to hold the panel in place, or it's the one larger black clip.

All of the sites I used to use to view images of parts to find part numbers have seemed to have taken down their images. I lost one of the door rivets and I'm trying to locate the part number. Picture of the part I'm missing below. Does anyone know what this part number is? Thank you.
