Hello everyone well I finally got the runner back on the road after rebuilding the top end, feels good again. I need to now focus on getting some of the important suspension parts replaced. The passenger side wheel has some wobble in it so I will be replacing the wheel bearings asap. Can someone please just tell me what the suspension parts are called that I have numbered. Thanks alot.

pretty sure 4 is the idler arm, am I correct?

 

1. Relay Rod - There was a recall on these, you might get yours replaced for free. (also called a center link by some people)
2. Pitman Arm
3. Tie Rod - Identical side to side. You replace the tie rod ends, but can buy the adjusting sleeve also.
4. Idler Arm - These go out all the time, the bushings go bad in them.

 

Thanks for the quick reply awsome. Yah I will have to check on that recall. Was wondering does anyone have a picture of where the 4x4 vac lines go. I must of mixed one of the lines up when putting everything back together because the 4x4 won't engage. I've done a little searching but have not found what i'm looking for, thanks again.

The vacuum diagram should be on a sticker under the hood. The line goes from a splitter off the intake, to a set of ADD vacuum switching valves, then down to the ADD actuator.

 

The recall was for the steering relay rod but under the recall Toyota will replace the steering rod and both tie rod ends plus a free alignment if done correctly.
I would take it in.

 

Yeah i'm pretty sure they already did those repairs on my truck. I remember when I checked with them for doing my head gaskets they said they did somthing with the suspension already. I'll check though would'nt hurt.
