    Whoa thanks fur all that info gearcruncher! I should of been more specific with my question.

    I've been thinking of getting a third gen 4 runner. BUT....I figured good ole Toyota decided we didn't need a manual in a "luxury" vehicle. I wanted a DC but put the brakes on fast when they were all automatic!(besides the very few stupid 2.7 DC's) so I've got over that and was wondering if the runners were all auto too? I will not own an automatic!!!! Mark my words!

    This is it, lower ball joint failed. I just looked on ebay at 3rd gens for sale and a couple of them were manual trans.

    Yes!! There is hope for me!! To be honest I'm pretty surprised they exist! Specially since the DC's really weren't offered with a manual.

    Why do people not change them damn lower ball joints!?!? Almost seems I've seen more runner pics with a busted ball joint than I do tacos. Friggin people just buy em have no idea about that kind of maintenance and just drive the shit outta it. Then when one breaks they "just don't understand what happened"
