My Tokicos arrived today to go with my Tundra springs for my 98 4runner and it looks like I need a lock nut for the top of the shock and the snubber retainer washers as only the snubbers came with the shock.

Finding a nut should not be too bad but anyone else have to go find the washers and if so, where did you get them ?

BTW, I have a new top plate and studs so I want to assemble a complete strut so I can switch the entire old stock unit out.

Thanks

David

 

you dont resue the same washers? I got new washers and nuts with my OMEs. you could always order them from toyota.

I need to order my extended studs, as I still have top outs that need to be installed. If you need a hand doing that stuff, let me know

 

reuse your existing hardware or you have to get the washers, grommets, and nuts from the dealer. be prepared to drop about $20 for them though.

 

Thanks Andy.

I have access to a nice wall mounted spring compressor so I was planning on completely assembling the new strut so I can do a quicker change out.

I have a tame dealer and get trade price on all my parts via a company connection.

They have ordered what I need.

Parts are the two "Retainers" and the lock nut which is listed as a non re-usable parts which begs the question why it is not in stock :pat:

yeah, FOR EACH SIDE you will need two retainers, two cushions (one of each above and below the top plate), then a lock nut on top to hold it all together.
