1994 steering stops
On the 1994 4Runner 3vze. Where is the steering stops located? What do they look like? Any pics?
I have a noise when making right or left turns. It sounds like something grinding, skipping. the noise is intermitten. Sometimes it does not make any noise on turns.
I want to try and fix it myself before I have a mechanic check it.
Thanks for any assistance ...

For those of you in wet climates I found antisieze lasts longer than grease on the steering stops. It doesn't seem to wash away as quick.

oh wait... now that i read that again... are you saying makeing the turning radius smaller! (thus the use of the word reduce) :pat:
anyway if your talking about makeing sharper turns i dont think that works because the CVs bind expecially when flexed

Also, don't worry about it. These steering stops were a faulty design and always make horrendous noises that get you funny looks. Just grease it, that is all you can do.

Mine were cut off before I bought my truck. I have never had a problem, and never hear any noise at full lock. I am not necessarily advise this, maybe somebody else will chime in the pros and cons.

Has any body bought the new caps? If so where and are they worth it. I drive on a dirt road daily and I'm sure that the grease will get full of dirt and rocks.

Mine make that noise all the time. I'm just to lazy to grease them. I have done it a few times. It is really funny when you are in a parking lot and making a tight turn near other cars and they start making noise. People give you some funny looks.
