just bought this truck its got front end damage as the brackets for the lift on the left fron for the ifs were bent backwards and pulls hard to the left when you drive it. i was looking for a quick and easy way to fix that. a friend of mine suggested that i sas it and that would solve the problem instead of heating the brackets and trying to pull them out to fix them. any suggestions? never owned a yota till now always loved them but never found a good looking project till now. thanx in advance.

 

if the brackets are bent, there is a good chance the whole front part of the frame rails are bent along with it, SAS will solve some of it, but you would still need to double check that the frame rails themselves aren't tweaked.

FSM has those frame measurements I believe.

 

i can see that theres so noticable damage to the frame rails just the lower part of the bracket for the lift itself. but i will double check and recheck it all.

 

If you post up some pics it would be easier to see what the problem is.
