$15?! That sounds great to me! Time to go check the local junkyard

I have a 99 SR5 I've been wanting to put a hitch on, haven't got around to actually putting it on yet. I did find out a couple different companies make a little towing wiring kit that fits up with it, which I did install, let's see if I can find a link...

Stick figure, thanks for the input. In this picture, what you are referring to would be what I circled in red? If so do you know what it should be torqued to? Also, circled in blue, looks like the boot is a bit darker, possible fluid inside (the other side is similar but down lower). Sorry for...

Interesting.. I may have to push my repair date back to Saturday and take a look at that as well as a few other things. Although I guess I could do the ITREs tomorrow, since those (at least the one) are bad. Then again maybe I should wait and do it all at ones, will need alignment after ITREs...

Preventative maintenance! 292k is getting up there.

That seal kit sounds good to me, I'm not sure I would exactly know how to replace them all without also buying a repair manual, unless there is some type of a write up for it on here or yotatech

And just in case I do find I have some power steering fluid leaking, are there any seals or something along that line I can replace down there to help? Or am I going to have to replace the whole rack as little ceasar mentioned?

Yeah I could consider having them do it, but the shop is barely 1 mile away, if that. Not to mention I like trying to do as much work on my own as possible (or with the help of a seasoned dad lol). That may end up being the route I go though depending on what kind of warranty they do/don't...

Just a day or two ago I put in some new brake pads (long story about those, short story don't get your pads from autozone even if you get the "high quality" ones), new lower ball joints, and new outer tie rod ends. Earlier today I take it in to get the alignment, and they say there's still a...

No the ABS light is not on. I guess I can go back and ask them to prove it's not working. Yeah, in Utah the safety and emissions inspections are required once a year to keep your car registered. I have heard they are thinking of doing away with it though, boy would that be convenient.

I got my safety and emissions inspections done, everything went well except the rear brakes. Turned out the inner seals had gone bad and were leaking. Took care of that and got it all fixed, didn't pass again. They said it was because the anti-lock brake was having problems. I question that the...
