This video shows in detail how to replace your steering rack bushings and front sway bar bushings on a 3rd Generation Toyota 4runner. This job also applies to 1st Generation Toyota Tacoma's as they share the same steering rack specifications. The technique we use could also translate to other vehicles. We used Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings to replace the OEM steering rack bushings and we used Prothane polyurethane bushings to replace the OEM front sway bar and end link bushings.
