Question about BJ spacers 2nd Gen

[SjamesT4R]

I lifted My 95 Runner awhile ago and put the Bj spacers on the front with new shocks and now my wheels are toed in \----/ like this and im not sure what happened.. Is that just an alighnment needed or is that from the CV axels? and need the Dif Drop on there? also another problem is that whe I make a sharp turn theres a loud pop pop comming from the front.. more of a Pop creeek pop sound..
:violin:

The noise during turning is due to the plastic caps on your turn stops being worn off. Rug some grease on there and the noise should go away for a while. There was a guy (CK something) making some durable replacements and selling them on ebay, but I havent seen them recently.

Did you get an alignment after installing the spacers? If not get one now before you kill the tires.

And I really only see the need for a diff drop is you have ADD.

lol @ "if you have ADD".. I was asking because ive heard a few people say to put that on there due to the CV axels binding.. but no I havent got an alighnment yet I drove it once since I did the lift havent drove it because of that reason (Eating tires away).. but yeah ill def check the stops.. Thanks good tip..

you basically have to get an alignment once you put on the bj spacers, and its recommended to get an alignment anytime your workin with ball joints anyways...

get the alignment and youll be much happier

alignment and highly recommend getting diff drop imo.

Google "driveway alignment" if you wanna get your setup in the ballpark before you go rolling down the road to the tire shop.

Also jack up your front end one side at a time, so that the suspension goes to full droop, and make sure a) the upper control arm isn't rubbing on the tire and b) the CV still rotates smoothly, at full droop and at steering lock both directions. If the CV is smooth through more than 360 degrees of rotation, you don't need a diff drop. If it binds or catches at all, a diff drop is highly recommended.
