Energy Suspension rack bushings kit 8.10103

[krenaud33]

I purchased the Energy Suspension steering rack kit 8.10103, which is listed on Energy Suspension website as the correct kit for 3rd gen 4Runners and Tacomas from 01-04. The bushing on the drivers side(long bolt) was not the correct bushing. I ended up burning the old rubber off the stock bushing and then cutting the flange/lip off of it to reuse it. This worked fine, but was extra work that I think we all would prefer to not have to do.

Thought I would share this information for others. When I searched all of the write ups mentioned the kit 8.10101, which from what I can tell has two different bushings for the drivers side. Hopefully this bit of information can help someone out that may be doing a search for information.

Just use this one. Fits perfectly on 3G 4Runners and presumably on '95-'00 Tacos. But not '01-'04 Tacos. Worked great on my '99 SR5 4x4 4Runner.

They have the piece that ES does not.

I believe Wheeler's Offroad added the ES for Energy Suspension. The G is for the color black versus red not sure what the extra number is for. I believe you could call that kit(8.10101) the 3rd gen 4Runner/Tacoma universal kit since it comes with more sleeves.
