im looking to buy a toyota 4runner between teh years of 1990-1995, however, when i see some, either for sale or on the road, somtimes the rear ends sag a bit? why is this? is the rear suspension weak?

 

Combination of things I suppose. Main thing is the factory put on soft spring in the back for the nice cushy ride that most folks prefer. That and 15-20 years of the heavy vehicle on the rear springs and the springs start to sag as all springs will.

 

x2 listen to 4crawler: he da man! Easy enough fix with many solutions (search around here). Fixing the rear sag is a simple problem for a rig that will serve you well!

 

hey i would love help in this area! my rear end is sagging more than i'd like...... on my
4Runner that is..... lmao help??

 

Well being serious here, Just get some new coil springs with a stiffer spring rate, Or just some coil spacers...

add a leaf...

 

The OP was referring to 90-95 4Runners, therefore no leafs.

As scuba said, get some new coils (don't bother with spacers) and its fixed.
Now either post this crap in newb tech or start searching.

 

oh... sorry.
adurdurdur

 

didnt the 90 runners come with leafs..? They were switched right in 91...IIRC


And yeah, Noob tech ftl

 

C'mon scuba. Get your history up to date.
Here is a great site with all generations;

I coulda swore I remember reading somewhere the early 1990 runners had leafs.
My bad

 

Unless there is some anomaly out there, or was swapped out during a SAS or etc., I have never heard of one.

 

NO 1990 4Runner's had leafs. Period.
