This was a great thread--i was bashing my head thinking why cant the alignment guys get it right--well Today i took it to them and after putting on new tierod ends and replacing the upper A-arm bushings (lowers are a pain to get past the PS rack)--they still couldnt get it aligned--pulls crazy to the right and thy couldnt get the caster to get within spec. I am going to have to take it back.......
Crap--i am getting so fed up with people not knowing how to do something but saying they do.....BS

this might give u an idea of general specs and that not only do u change angles by tightening them that tight but u r over tightening them however i do agree with u about alot of techs half assing jobs i think the problem is no one takes pride in their work ne more ne way a few specs just for some ref and alot of problems come when u change ride height and u run out of adjustment

Very informative post, its nice to be able to learn this stuff from one website. I have just started working on my 4runner myself recently, and every question i have had so far i have been able to find an answer/example from YotaTech.

TRY acetone/tranny mix 50/50--soak it down good and go have a brew--watch Extreme 4x4 and use a quality ball joint seperator and not a pickle fork--
The rest is the reverse of removal
