Good product in shocks, struts and suspension section

Haven't installed them on my 4runner yet but I have many friends who use ES Poly with no problems. Follow us and watch the Timmy the Toolmans YouTube video on how to make it at home. Everything came as described and quickly. Not thrilled with the install but very happy when they are!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Safety

Perfect Fit: Stabilizer Bars and Parts

I bought this to use on a 1999 4Runner Limited 4WD with A/T and it fits perfectly. Keep in mind it doesn't come with a tube of grease so I bought a tube of ES lube as I made front and rear stabilizer bushings and end bars and wanted to apply enough lube to prevent squeaking.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • old

Inexpensive quality bushings

These bushings far outweigh the Toyota OEM for my 4Runner. It's the same with performance! I installed them with a new strut and gearbox which made it easier to install by hand. If you do this on a car by pulling the strut back just a little, it makes things a little harder for the two pressed bushings.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Has some issues

My 2002 4Runner looked like 2018

My original OEM rubber bushings were very soft and worn. Stand under the car and have someone turn the steering wheel back and forth. If the stance moves, chances are it will give you a nice upgrade. Our shelves have moved a lot. 33-inch tires and off-road riding probably finished off the original bushings. Now our 4Runner drives like new. It's definitely worth it!

Pros
  • Annual Trial
Cons
  • Quality

Power steering

Not very easy to install. It's difficult to remove the old bushings without removing the entire rack, which might be worth it. The play in my steering was eliminated so my 2002 Tacoma could be straightened. The strut slipped back and forth about 1/4 inch before I replaced the bushings. I don't know of any other kit that allows you to change bushings without completely removing the strut.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • -

Direct replacement 95-04 Tacoma

Purchased to replace native rack and pinion bushings. It was an easy install and due to my 3" lift kit I couldn't get the long bolt all the way out. I had to disconnect the stabilizer bar, driver's side tie rod and power steering line bracket near the oil filter. From start to finish 1 hour, spray all bolts and nuts with penetrating lubricant 15-30 minutes before start. I recommend changing the stabilizer bar bushings and tie rod ends.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some minor items

Fits perfectly and tightens any steering play.

Installed on a 1997 Toyota 4wd 4runner. Be sure to purchase silicone grease to coat them during installation. This got rid of all the dirt from the steering. I used a ballpoint press to remove the old bushings, but you could probably just drill out some of the old rubber bushings and knock them out with a hammer and a large socket. I removed the stabilizer bar, unbolted the driver's side tie rod, unscrewed the rack and pinion, and finished repairing the car. Check the stabilizer bushings before

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

What a difference in so many ways

Most people say you need tie rods, tie rods or steering wheel etc as 2 bolts holding the pressure lines and that's it. I was a bit apprehensive at first about changing them on my regular 2000 Toyota Tundra 4x4 SR5 cab, but I just took my time and replaced them in 15 minutes from start to finish, tightening the nuts and bolts. Very easy installation and what a difference in my truck. Awesome jacks, SOLID. PS Some also recommend lubricating them, and not only did I clean the holes they go in with

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
