Many thanks for making and sharing this video, it was gold for tackling this task. I own a 1st generation Tundra with 217k miles. My project started when I had to replace the rack and pinion due to corrosion, it had two major leaks. After reviewing what I needed it, and inspection of the suspension, it was determined that the good old Tundra needed many suspension parts, new tires were wearing out unevenly. Your video is very detailed and brings lots of confidence. I have done some work and over the years I have been able to build up the inventory of tools. I would like to add some information to your viewers/fans. I wanted the hole experience and proceeded to buy the bushings rather than buy the upper and lower arms. I felt I wanted to have fun removing and pressing in the bushes. After dealing for 3 hours with the first bushing using the proper tools, I threw the towel and decided to return the bushings and order the upper and lower arms. Simply is not worth it! The difference in the price merits to avoid the major headaches. Again, thank you for your efforts and sharing your knowledge.

Hey brother it's good to see another guy working on his 1st gen in the driveway without a lift or shop. Love your site/store, have bought springs from you and will again I'm sure. I tried to cut/drill my old bushings out and it was a mess. Then couldn't generate enough force to seat the new ones, so I also ended up buying new control arms with the bushings in. I think if you lift the steering rack up and inch or two you can clear those rear cam bolts without having to take off the inner tie rod boots. Also I think you can leave your coil overs attached at the top and let them hang. I also found the diablo carbide blades worked well. That's a great idea to get the longer ones. Did this solve your vibration/noise problem? I got some cam bolts from SPC, they have a polymer sleeve that is supposed to not seize up. Will see how they hold up over time

Agreed. Replace at least coils and shocks. I did on my Sequoia and I don't regret it. Made a huge difference in ride quality and handling. I went with bilstein shocks and dobinsons coils from 1stgenoffroad.

Thanks so much for this video. I'm about to do this on my 06 Sequoia. The link for the short cam bolt links to a windshield washer bolt on Amazon. The long cam bolt (90080-11275) shows as a windshield washer bolt on the Toyota site as well. Can you confirm that these are the correct bolts for this?

Hey how long did it take to cut each bolt? The aft bolt is not coming out. I have been cutting and gone through 2 5.0 XC M18 batteries with a m18 fuel Hackzall. Using the same Milwaukee blades that you used. Seems like I’m not getting anywhere. Is Sawzall the only answer ?

@1stgenoffroad Жыл бұрын

That's why I say you want a Sawzall. They are better at cutting through thicker material. And you want one that plugs in. You'll be on the trigger for a long time.

Where the cam parts seized into the control arm bushings? Could you have just replaced adjustment parts or at the very least bushings?

@1stgenoffroad744 4 жыл бұрын

Bolts were seized to the cam sleeves. Sleeves were seized to the bushings. Maybe could have pressed it all out once the arms were off.!but I damaged the arms when I cut them out and even it I hadn’t, the juice ain’t worth the squeeze.
