Greetings and salutations -
Installed Helwig helper springs - I found them easy to install, and they work great. About $80, on-line, as I recall.
I'm curious whether a worn or failing steering gear causes slop in the steering; driving, I feel about 10-12 degrees of play - enough to irritate. Linkage - rod-ends - all seem okay. Replaced the dampener when I did my shocks, and it didn't seem to change much.
I'd be interested in a good on-line source for light sockets. My front driver's side turn signal's out; the sockets gunked up and I couldn't get it clean enough to be reliable. On my old VW, I just spent $5.99 and replaced such - where can I do that with Toyota?
Finally, I'm looking for a project pickup for my 15-year-old nephew. Ideally, we'd find a pickup in decent shape that doesn't run, or is about to not run...something he can put elbow grease into and then drive for a few years. We're near Portland, Oregon.
THANKS!
