97 4x4 taco suspension
Hello, need some assistance here on a 97 4x4 taco 4cyl. I just picked up this truck last week, I think they beat the crap out of it cuz pretty much all of the suspension was shot. They must have taken it off road with all stock parts.
I changed out what I know: upper and lower ball joints, front struts, rear shocks, changed out some of the bushings, but now I'm worried about the Rack because it is very unstable when I go over any kind of bump while turning. I removed the boot and didn't see an inner tie rod - do the '97's have them and I just don't know what they look like? Any other thoughts on what else my problem could be? There's not much else I could even replace if I wanted to.
This is a good truck, just need to get the suspension thing taken care of before I can let my son drive it - Minnesota winters demand a stable vehicle.
Thanks guys!
Brian

I did not change the bushings on the rack cuz I thought they were ok. I did change the ones out on the stabilizer bar, those were shot. I can give it a try, it could be a pretty cheap fix.
I did the outter tie rod ends already. Are there inner tie rod ends on this model?
