just wondering if someone who installed a lift on their IFS toyota pickup could answer this question... how do you go about removing the 4 bolts that hold the cross brackets on below the oil pan. im not sure exactly what they are called but there is 4 of them and they hold the A-Arms in place.....

 

I wish I knew, man. I will get under mine in the light, and look for the problem you are having, and see if I can figure it out....

 

You're most likely talking about the cam eccentric bolts that are used for setting the alignment...

I got three of mine out with a lot of PB blaster and a big hammer. Once I was able to get it to break free and turn, i could tap them out.

The last one though I had to cut out with a 4.5" grinder with a cut off wheel in it. It was frozen solid and rusted in to the bushing. After I did that I had to get a new bolt and bushing to replace what I screwed up...

Good luck. Those can be frustrating.

 

so those bushings and bolts are replacable?? thanks

 

Yep. Here's the part numbers for the bolt and bushing I replaced. This bushing was the lower control arm, drivers side, to the rear if it matters...

These are OEM from Toyota.

 

hey thanks ovrrdrive. helps out alot.

 

No problem.

I think all 4 lower control arm bushings are the same too. I took it to a machine shop and had them press the bushing in for me for like another $10.
