April 3, 201312 yr And you're not done yet?No I have been dragging my feet and waiting on Austin. also Neal, were these the parts you were saying to get for my car? http://www.amazon.com/gp/part-finder/slide-show/2003/Toyota/Camry/ref=au_pf_cr_13?ie=UTF8&carId=001&partsNode=318327011 No they were all 4runner parts, sorry.lol.. You had mentioned "sway bars" or something like that... the link is for that... which you had mentioned in my other thread. Sorry for the confusion
April 3, 201312 yr Admin I am thinking this might make a fun job for Friday. The 4runner has 91,000 on her and I figure I may as well keep her as nimble as she can be. Also it is nice having my FIL running a partstore. Did that on my old explorer, was spendy, but worth it.

I am doing everything except balljoints and tierod ends, but I may just do them before the end of summer.

April 3, 201312 yr Author All nut and threads have been treated with PB blaster for easy removal on Friday.
April 3, 201312 yr When i changed my control arms I hadn't planned on changing the tie rods. So get ready to attach the tie rods back to the control arms and they just keep spinning Needless to say i had to Bike it back to the parts store for tie rods smh.. And apparently places dont align the camber, so make sure you mark where you took the uppers off at.I just read a couple other forums and apparently it depends on if the shop is being lazy or not or they will charge extra,,,,,,,,,,, On my navi they said they wouldn't smhBut im sure UAK lol

April 5, 201312 yr Author I put on all the parts today and am very happy and suprised at how the ride stiffened up.
April 7, 201312 yr Author The port was a pain in the ass, but it turned out nice. This box is almost as big as my sealed box for two 18" xcons.
April 7, 201312 yr Author Little more progress today. Sure would be nice to have something evil to put in it...
