toyminator2000 – There has to be dumb people in order for there to be smart people
Those are the stock springs. How the hell did I bend a steering arm? I didn't know I could do that with a completely stock truck! Dang shoes! I always wear shoes, just not this morning. I woke up, took pictures, then went back to bed. If I get it aligned, would that possibly fix it temporarily?
I would'nt drive it anymore personally..just a safety thing...but yea ummm u need a knuckle service kit..marlin sells them.....I would pull it apart and check the wheel bearings too...that way if you need them u can include them in the kit....make sure you get bearings with only NGK or Koyo stamped on them..nothing else..if they are the original bearings they are probably shot. Do you notice any play in the tire side to side when u have it jacked up? thats one way to tell..You will also need a knuckle pull scale (or fish scale), snap ring pliers, torque wrench and a 54 mm hub socket. good luck
A relatively quick check would be to jack up the passenger side, take off the steering arm, and look to see what kind of condition the bearing is in. If it turns out to be the bearing I would definitly stop driving it because you never know where the pieces of the bearing are going...and you will never be able to align it if it is the bearing.
OK. Driver's side is all torn apart, painted, and ready to be rebuilt. But I have a small problem. When I took my hub apart to paint it and put new grease in it, I lost a piece. This was the first time that I had torn a Toyota hub apart, so I didn't know that there was a small spring with a ball on the end of it inside the red knob. Well, I found the spring, but I can't findthe little ball. Is this ball really all that important?? Does anyone know what I am even talking about? If I do need it, can I get it from Toyota? Or will I have to go to a junkyard and buy a whole hub just for the little tiny ball that may not even be in there? Also, I was missing one of the cone washers for some reason. Where can a replacement cone washer be sourced from? Toyota? Please help!Thanks
