What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Just a thought, that bolt going thru the bottom of the coilover, does not look factory. If it's a run of the mill SAE grade 8 from the hardware store, it may be too small of a diameter. That in turn may be causing the noise you are hearing. Or not.

i need money to fix some stuffs.

 

Aesthetics man, aesthetics. You'll thank me later.

 

Went out and took two more pictures and put them in my op

 

Hopeful I get a decent summer job and con actually do some stuffs again.

 

That bolt was replaced while doing the axle because the old one was rusty. Still the same noise before and after but it's a thought.

 

likely your sway bar.

 

angle looks fine to me, little to no rubbing there.

 

So either work, its just a cap shape option?

 

The bushing do look a little smashed up and dry so maybe that's the problem

 

Right on, thanks for your speedy reply!

 

Replaced my stock struts and spacers with 5100s and 881s

 

What fabricator for the rack?

 

Ours should be the N type. I wouldn't compromise a radiator under pressure with the wrong size. Now just to figure out which pressure rate to go with. The S type was for older models like the supra that was rated for 21.3 psi (1.5 kg/cm2). The N type is offered at 18.5 psi (1.3 kg/cm2) and then there's one for I think 12 psi. Good info to keep in mind.

 

Stock normal one is 0.9 BAR or 13.05PSI, that's what I have. I'd assume you're looking for higher pressure

 

That's what I figured. So now I'm set to get this radiator installed.

 

Nice find dude. That's the type of worthless info that rocks my socks for some reason. Seriously.

 

Which size spacer were you running? And how would you describe the difference between the feel of driving on road?

 

just a hunch... that strut bolt on the bottom is not factory... on an older truck I made a mistake of replacing the strut bolt with a standard parts store grade 8 because it was cheaper at the time
it clunked pretty bad even though it was as tight as I felt would not twist it off with a 4 foot bar - it was only half a mm smaller than the stock one...

edit: oops was beat to it

 

Same. It's fun doing research on obscure things. Like the TRD header headache.
