Maurice,
These are the links of RB's site for the poly bushes.

I've checked all those links before (and again just now to make sure) but none of them contain a listing for body mounts for a 3rd gen. Some list nothing for any 4runners after '89. The only 3rd gen parts I could see referenced at all were Front Sway bar bushes and Tie-Rod boots.

Weird, I took that info from RB's site. I'll do a search on Yotatech later. See what I can find.

Bumpy roads, I know what you mean! My surf is awful on bumpy roads and the front tends to bounce all the way down the m-way. One of my front shocks is leaking so the dealer is going to replace both for me. Mine are the adjustables and there doesn't seem to be enough damping. Will let you know how i get on later this week after they've been changed.

Well the front shocks have finally been replaced and WOW what a difference! No more 'floating' front end, no more harsh shuddering and vibration. Feels like a totally different truck now and I can't believe how I lived with it before. And the best bit is that it cost me £0.00

Love my surf even more now

And the dealer even replaced the lens on my fog light for free which I broke at Devils Pit (cos they didn't fit the new shocks properly 1st time round!)

Rob,

What were yours replaced with?

Are they the Coil-overs like mine?

It seems that they had many different set-ups!

Has anyone replaced the Coil Over Units on this forum? and how much are they - shock only for something decent?!

The suspension is totally standard (as far as I know) and the shocks were replaced with new genuine Toyota ones (adjustables). My bump stops were cut by a previous owner. I can see two bump stops on each side at the front - only one on each side has been cut though...

People usually cut the bump stops after turning the torsion bars to lift the front a little. After tweaking the T/bars you only have an inch or so gap and the truck rides hard over the smallest bumps. Cutting the bump stops lets it move a little more.

Or they may have done it just to get a little more flex on the front when offroading.
