Re: front suspension repairs
That's the problem with IFS .... very expensive to replace all those wearing parts. If you are a little mechanically minded you can save yourself quite a bit by doing it yourself, but the parts are still going to 'knock' you.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: front suspension repairs
The best is to buy yourself a manual at Autozone and do the job yourself.It is not that complicated.

Re: front suspension repairs
Thanks for the advice
I'll look for a manual its just the cost that i'm worried about.
But if it need to be done i must do it , it will just take time.
