Question for you guys. Does anyone know how many sensors/thermistors an 2005 4Runner has, where each is located and the part numbers for each. I have a bad expansion valve in my A/C system and want to change the sensors as well. Thanks in advance

Well after seeing my alignment guy today he said my "problem" is the spring on my front strut. He said the sound I hear isn't a pop but the spring torquing under pressure and vibrating when it releases. So its something I'll have to live with but I'm glad it's nothing major.

What all have you tried to fix your problem

I haven't checked the sway bar links but I have replaced both CV axles (I changed the passenger side axle tonight after work) Not sure if this will help any but I removed the xreas system and installed the toytec ultimate lift.

So here's my problem. When I make a sharp right hand turn my 4runner pops. I got under it to see if it was anything obvious and found a torn axle boot and grease everywhere under the passenger side. I changed the axle and still have the same issue. I've also greased the steering stops and the...

Forgot to mention its an 05 sport if that matters

No lights or alarms of any sort

That's what I was afraid of.

Driving to pick my wife up from work since it snowed and noticed the brakes were soft. Didn't think much of it and just thought I slid a little until it did it on dry pavement. My brakes are extremely soft and the pedal will bottom out without any effective braking. I have to down shift and use...
