    Rims, hoe lights, sound system, tint, vent shades. Mostly all cosmetic right now. Can't wait to finally have it paid off, and start doing suspension and performance mods.
    Mornin fella's,
    Well this question is for my friend, he has a 1991 Tacoma that makes some pretty crazy squeaky noise when flexing the suspension. This truck has no lift. So he took it to the local les shwab, they said it was the ball joints. So my question is. What do you guys think it is? And if it is the ball joints how hard is it to replace them? Thanks guys have a great day.

    not being a dick but a 91 is just a Toyota pickup not a Tacoma lol. on the the question Toyota an Nissan's have a creaking or shrieking when turned at full lock and the suspension moves. the reason they do this is the steering stops have a nylon bushing on them, once they wear off the noise starts. so you could put new caps on the bolts to stop it.

    as far as the ball joints I'm no sure, i did an old Nissan hard body and it was a pain
