thanks for literally making this idiot proof
Wow, this is why I love doing maintenance to my own car, look how easy that is! Not only am I saving a TON, you can’t beat the feeling after you’re finished! Nice video, I’m going to go do this today, looks easy enough. No more bouncy turns for me.
a lot of smaller trucks don’t have full struts on the front, they just have the shocks
That model
Did not have spring on front
thats’ was great, tank-U guys for the help.
t-crank and 2inch shackles
Would this be much different from changing on a 2000 Tacoma 2wd?
Is there a 2-3″ lift that one could install on this truck (1993 Toyota Pick-up)
Nice!~ Your the only one to post a vid replacing with Bilstiens. Thanx for the info! GO CHARGERS!
thanks for the instruction…
Gread video – but is there any reason you cut the mounting compression strap and removed the top plastic guard and fittings before you started? After reading the Bilstein instructions I thought the strap meant you didnt need to use the floor jack to compress it? I was hoping to see how the strap was removed in the bilstein recommended install method
would a 4runner shock work just as well. is there actually a mechanical difference
probably the shock’s different ratings
is there a difference between a 1986 1ton toyota front shock vs a 1/2 ton regular front shock. cause a 1/2ton shock for the front of my truck cost alot less than a 1ton shock. but my truck is a 1ton so if u could let me know what the difference is.
Actually my toyota service manual says 18 ft-lb top. however the bottom is 13 ft-lb.
per Toyota publication repair manual for a 1994 Toyota Pick up published by Toyota Motor Corporatiuon, the torque specs for the top of teh shock (the nut at the top of the front shock is 18ft/lbs. teh boldt and nut assy on teh bottom bracket is to be torqued to 101ft/lbs.
