I am looking to find out what size the bolts are for mounting the torsion bars. Both the adjusting bolt and the 2 mounting bolts at the control arm. I did try a search and came up empty. Toyota wants 35 for the rear adjusting bolt and 15 for the nut. I am sure I can get a grade 8 bolt from my supplier cheaper, but I do not know the size. I appreciate any help.

grade 8 aint gonna work on those, you'll tear the threads apart.

I take any and all savings donations in the form of a money order.

the adjuster ones should be 48173A BOLT, HEXAGON(FOR ANCHOR ARM ADJUSTING) 48101-12159 1992.02-1995.01 RN101, 110, VZN100, 110 qty 2 $5.03

the adjust bolt nuts should be NUT, HEXAGON 80179-12074 $2.09
by the looks of the diagram you will need 2.

the bolts for the bracket should be BOLT, W/WASHER 90119-08671 $0.94

the bracket bolt says 1 so I don't know if they are different from pass to driver side. Same with the nut for the adjuster only says 1 but the bolt says 2.

Thanks. I should have added that the truck is 93 4x4 ext cab with 3.0. I wonder if they ship to Canada? I did find the right diagram and part numbers needed. I really do appreciate the help. I got the truck in a total stripped down state and have no idea on some of the bolts. If I had been the one to actually strip it down, I might have figured it out.

should be the same I will double check and edit post accordingly. but yeah just change your vehicle.

yep just edited my post to reflect the findings. lol man you are quick with help. can't thank you enough. once i get enough progress and pics I will start a build thread. I have a 3.4 to put in also so I am sure I will be a regular poster asking lots of questions!

part numbers edited to reflect correct vehicle and added a note about qty on the nuts.

no problem glad to help ya save some coin and possibly your rig lol. Besides I just learned something new in that the torsion setup on the 92-95 is different from the 86-88 and 89-92.

hey There, I got an 88 pick up 3vze and I need to replace the torsion bar bolt on the pilot side. I am looking at the diagram available at toyotapartszone.com but I cant find that they sell all the parts I need, in specific its just some nuts and washers as for what I can see in the Diagram. Any recommendations in getting all the parts I need? Or should I just get what they sell there and custom job it?

MudHippy

88 is different. They still sell all the parts for it though. http://www.toyotapartszone.com/Page_...onentsIndex=54

Hint: 48173 is now also 48169. PNC 48173 is now both parts sold as part numbers, 48173/48169-35010 for the lower, 48173-35020/35030 for the upper .

Sweet! so then I guess to install the torsion bar hexagon bolt (Whole suspension is complete except that bolt) Parts I need will be 48173 and 48173A and I should be covered. I live in Mexico so I just double check on my parts because I cant get them that easily, Yotatech rocks!!!

Do you already have the bolts out? if not, I would grab the Nut and Locknut as well. I reused my seats from the old set. I had to break 1 of the bolts to get it off the truck.

AROC

Yeah those are the exact ones I cant find a specific part number to buy on the webpage. I dont have the complete assembly So I need all the torsion bar bolt adjuster assembly. I am thinking I should Change both while I am it. The toyotapartszone webpage has got a lot of nuts and washer and the end of the list http://www.toyotapartszone.com/Page_...onentsIndex=54

So right now for sure I need 48173, 48173A. Do you happen to know the numbers on the nut and locknut? Thanks

xxxtreme22r

Either in my build thread, or I had started a separate thread for it, not gonna look as I know I have posted those numbers. I believe it was a thread in which I was asking how many per bag these things came in. All of those part numbers were on toyotapartszone though. I know that for a fact.

It should be a total of 5 part numbers you will need.
