I replaced the struts with Monroe’s from RockAuto. They looked a lot more beefy then the ones I took off. I’d post a pick but not sure how. Fixed my shake . Thanks

So I installed a set of Monroe struts from RockAuto. The springs that came with them definitely looked more beefy then the ones I took off. Anyway fixed my problem. Thanks

I found out why RockAuto does not have a kit for the 2003 4L. Well – we don’t have a “kit” on the 2003 as there was some supersession issues from Toyota on the tensioner - 3 months of 4 Runners use a tensioner (1662031010 OR 1662031011) that required a modification kit available through the OE...

Thanks for that. Did not know that.

What exactly is a continental kit. Thanks

Hey: Appreciate all the info. Doesn’t sound like a plug and play situation where all I need to do is find a steering wheel and replace it with my current one. I thought all the wiring was already there and a lot easier . Think I’ll have to live with my situation. Appreciate your reply. Thanks

As you suggested I started a new post on the forum. Hope these results of alignment makes sense to you.

So some history. I just bought this car from a dealer in California. I live in Southern Ontario Canada where rust is enemy #1. It has 94,000 miles on it and very little if any rust underneath. Everything is tight on the front end. When I had it safetied by the Toyota dealer I mention the...

Hey Steve: Did you ever correct your shimmy. I have a 2003 with the exact same issue. A shimmy every time I go over a bump. Had wheel alignment but still there. Tires are new. Mechanic suggested struts. Doesn’t matter what speed I’m going when I drive a rough road it shimmies at ever crack in...

Can’t figure out how to post these results. I have pics but unable to figure it out. Also could send a PDF file. Hope this worked iCloud iCloud

So your saying that my 2003 SR5 can be retrofitted with the radio controls. You say you did a write up. Tried looking for it but not found. Where can I find it. I’m assuming the wiring for this is already run to the steering wheel even though my model did not offer it. Is it any easy job...

It’s been very confusing to keep track of all the part numbers in regards to replacement of the idler pulleys. I’m planning on replacing all of them soon. Can someone post the latest OEM part numbers I need to have all the correct parts required for this job. I know that sounds kind of lame and...

Adding steering wheel control to 2003 . It is now 2021. I bought a 2003 SR5 with no audio control on steering wheel. After all the posts I read is it doable. Do all 4th gen 4runners have the required wiring to just switch a wheel from a wheel that has the controls. I would think by now that...
