Help please, where to buy rear control arms/bushings...

[77'911]

Hello all, we recently were gifted with a 1990 4runner(V6, Auto) with 70k on it from a relative. I replaced the shocks, tires, motor & trans mounts, cap, rotor, wire set, plugs,etc, but I would like to rebuild the rear suspension. Can someone tell(or recommend) me if there are any other decent retailers for OEM parts , other then the local dealer(who is pricey, very!)? It is worth installing urethane bushings and where can I buy them?
Just before we got the SUV, the dealer replaced the head gaskets, rebuilt the AC system, replaced waterpump & timing belt. Anything else to look out for with these? I greatly appreciate any comments you have. I'm just "in process" of reading the articles posted here. I'm sorry for any new comer mistakes here.

WOW! Sounds like you got a heckuva deal. You might want to see if the steering linkage recall has been performed by the dealer . The recall number is 50N.

I haven't done much with my suspension, but many on these boards have had good luck with Old Man Emu suspension products. Just Google it.


Welcome to the board.

Thanks...

Yep, we got the letter from Toyota. My plan was to rebuild the front end before we bring it in for the recall, since it calls for an alignment. I was thinking of new control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod assemblies, etc. Its not bad, but there is a bit of vibration through the steering wheel. The replacement of the motor and trans mounts made a huge improvement. I bought the factory 4 vol. repair manual set which helped alot.:bouncy:
