yes lefty loosy righty tighty, but on tie rods there is both. It makes it easier to adjust at the alignement shop. If it wont go the proper way try and crack it loose the other way. And yes it should goto the shop for a wheel alignement but you can do your toe set with a tape measure.

remember ones left hand thread and ones right hand good luck

pretty straight forward to do. -jack up and put onstands -remove tire -remove tie rod cotter pin and nut -hit on the side of the tie rod mount with a BFH or use a pickle fork. keep hitting it hard, eventually it'll pop out -pull boot back from inner -bend the 2 tabs that are in the rack back...

they sure did. thanks:bravo: the 2nd email wouldnt come threw though.

Thanks for the reply. A member here sent me some info already. Job is done and it took a 1/2 hour to do. Super simple, I just cant figure out why the dealer wanted 4hrs to do it.

Had the runner at the dealer today for a service and it was pointed out that the passenger side inner and outer tierod is bent. :bash: 800 bucks for parts and labour is pretty steep. I can get both parts for like 150 bucks at the local parts store. Anyone done this and have any tips? Or a link...

I didnt see that post but good info. didnt work but the lock switch was in. thanks amt006

Yesterday the rear window in my 06 didnt work. Dash switch and key fob. but the rear switch with the key on the tail gate work fine. Any ideas on whats wrong?

Looks good. Is it OEM?

Tires is the only thing that will make better clearance under the diffs. Even if you do a 6" suspension lift you still need bigger tires for clearance. Like what was said earlier need a lift to fit bigger tires. HTH

You could also put the axle stands under the front and rear axles. You would have to jack it up higher if you put the stands under the frame. When you let it down the suspension will unload bringing the tire down to the ground. It is safe to leave your runner on stands for days. Just be...

Your conclusion is right. Tire placement is the key when wheeling anyway. Put rock sliders on, then no worries about rocker panel damage.

Wish I saw this post a few days ago. I just picked up factory mat's and the look nothing like that.

If the spacer lift is a 2 1/2" it will lift your 4runner the same amount. It will not change the clearance under the diffs. Getting larger tires will do that.

Thanks for the pics cdoyle. Looks good. Now I just have to convince the wife.:bash:
