    Well, just bought the Taco and trying to figure everything that needs some attention and this looks like it needs it!


    See rubber bushing on shock for :eek:

    Any suggestions on how to fix her on a budget?

    I can't really see the rear bushing but the bolt looks to be centered. As for the front you may just want to replace the strut which would come with new bushings. If the shocks are still good then just replace the bushings which shouldn't be more than a couple bucks for the one side.

    I think the bushings in the rear are fine, just the front shocks need some help. Thinking I should be able to do this myself. Just need to locate me some replacement bushings, hopefully locally.

    Eventually I see 5100's coming for all four corners, just not yet...

    See if someone has the factory bilsteins or original shocks for sale-many Peeps have done improvement mods and have the stuff just gatering dust in the garage.
