In this video I finally get the 2005 Toyota 4Runner back on the road. This recent driver-side project started when I replaced the cv axle and found the steering knuckle to have stripped bolt holes rendering it useless. Since I needed to replace the knuckle I had to also replace the common upper and lower ball joints. And, upon attempting to put it all back together I realized the previously installed hub assembly had stripped bolts as well. So, I had to replace that too.
Lots of new parts which is great but that also means I have to replace those same parts on the passenger side. After all this work I'm also going to be sure to have an alignment done.
Thanks for watching and hitting that thumbs up,
Jimmy
