I still haven't ruled out a good balance with the haweka adapter but I'm almost positive that my toe and or camber was way out. It was pulling pretty hard left before and my tires were scalloping. Now it tracks straight and true. But so far between the cv joints and fresh alignment I haven't...

Here are 2 links to people who performed the Lexus TSB and solved their issues: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/problems-warranty-issues/2226-steering-wheel-vibration-highway-speed-revisited-5.html#post753763...

To add a note, maxing out the caster seemed to make a great improvement on highway handling. Doesn't wander like it used to. Also doesn't seem to affect any other driving aspect or make the steering too tough. Still not trying to get my hopes up but its been 2 days now and I have yet to get a...

Didn't realize how hard the picture was to see on a computer. They adjusted everything but I never got the origional alignment specs. The tech had to double check with me to make sure i wanted my caster pushed out that far. So when he brought the specs to me the first time was after he adjusted...

the before numbers on there are wrong. they took the "before" specs right before they adjusted the toe.

Haven't driven it yet. Waiting for them to one back from the test drive. Here is my readout on the alignment. Edit: Disregard the "Before" specs. They took those right after they set the camber and caster and before they adjusted the final toe. Final Alignment Spec: Left Front Camber...

Missed this the first time around. Ill find and post a link when I get off work.Basically the 4Runner and one of the Lexus vehicles has identical steering setups from top to bottom. The Lexus guys were getting the same issue the 4Runner guys get. Lexus got a recall to get all of the faulty parts...

Ok, so Sunday morning I got up and prepared to do my CV Joints. I was told it would take 8 hours to repack them without removing the axle. No Idea what they were talking about because it took me less than an hour per joint. I'm going to go back and re-do the 2 I already did and then repack the 2...

So I'll try that. My CV joints have been leaking and tomorrow I'm finally going to take a day to repack them with the special marine rounded hose clamps people are using. Then hopefully an alignment next week and I'll have them max out the caster. Then in a couple weeks I'll try for another...

When I got it done the last shop I went to I told them to use the adapter am asked if they had one. I got the "yeah, sure" and I'm kinda skeptical if they even knew what I was talking about. When they got done they said they used the adapter on the road force and it was ok for about a day. Then...

I know this has been beaten like a dead horse on here an every other 4Runner website. However, it seems like nobody has a straight answer. I figured if I give all my vehicle specific issues and what exactly I am experiencing maybe it will help solve my problem. 2005 Toyota 4Runner Sport...

sorry to resurrect an old thread but do you happen to still have those specs? im having the wandering issue along with a wheel shimmy and its pulling left now. Reno Toyota did my alignment when they installed my leveling kit but its still not right. Figured if i can bring some specs to somebody...

the one i got works awesome! here is a link to one. just look on ebay and search for "4Runner Cupholder Insert" TOYOTA 4RUNNER CUP HOLDER INSERT CLIP OEM | eBay

Yeah, im actually pretty close to you. I live in NW Reno right off the Robb drive exit on I80. So maybe 30 minutes MAX from me to Truckee. If you have been there for 20 years or so you probably have known some of my family that used to live there or still do. Haha

after setting the climate controls at 68 and using the "Auto" feature the climate controls are definitely less of an issue for me. its still not perfect because i will have to make changes to the temperature but instead of jumping a 20 degree range i only have to jump a few degrees. what i do...
