This is a Toyota OEM kit.

2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited 5.7L Purchased a CV boot kit for the wifes' 2005 4Runner limited. (04427-60141 BOOT KIT,FR DRIV) The kit comes with two different greases apparently one for each boot. Problem is, i don't know which grease goes in what boot. Maybe someone has the instructions from...

A search of RockAuto listing show two applications each for the Denso and VDO. Both list the OEM part number. How do I know which one to choose...

The wife's 2005 Limited lit up the low tire warning today. All tire pressures checked good. Hooked up TechStream and have a DTC C2121 active code for (ID1 Not receiving data from transmitter). Being that the sensors are 12 years old, I plan on just going ahead and changing all five of them. What...

What's strange is the light never went through the 3 second on or the 12 flash sequence, it just came on and stayed on after the alignment. The oil change is no where near due either.

Took the girlfriends 2005 4Runner in today at the local dealership to have an alignment and balance & rotate done. On the way home, the maintenance light popped on and stayed on. She is usually very diligent about telling me about any issues with her vehicle including odd noises, warning lights...

Are the 2005 4.7 engine a non interference engine? In other words, if the timing belt breaks, will the valve damage occur?

You should be OK. You might want to remove the upper mount and inspect the underside where the molded in rubber bushing resides. Check it for any tears or splits. Make sure the hole in the mount is not oblonged.

Just went through a similar situation on the girlfriends '05 limited. Someone installed the shock and left out the lower washer that fits under the top mount. It ended up ruining the underside of the mount. Ended up replacing it a Monroe Quick Strut. You do not have to use a spring compressor to...

Hmmm... A 48 ft lb difference between two service manuals. That's quite a difference when it comes to a front end part.

Great! thank you for the link! I though I was going to dragg the Runner of the jackstand getting them loose!

Use a short piece of 4x4 wood and the largest hammer you can swing underneath the vehicle. With the wheel in the air, take all but one of the lug nuts off..... back off the last one several turns to keep the wheel from flying off when it comes loose. Place the block of wood on the inside of the...

2005 4Runner Limited. Installing new strut assembly and need the torque value of the two bolts that bolt together the lower control arm to the lower ball joint. Is 116 foot pounds correct? They did take a 1/2 inch ratchet and a short cheater pipe to get them loose!

2005 4 Runner Limited AWD, I've got a new front bearing assembly coming from nj636 and have a question of what the cv axle nut torques to? I was on the toyotech forum looking around..... one guy says 173 ftlb.... another guy states 150 ftlb..... a third guy says "173 or 150- your truck won't...
