Great video. Remember that 2006 to 2008 went to a strut and got rid of the torsion bar. Also, why didn't you just remover the brake caliper right after tire removal? I bet you could've gotten the front axle out of the way, without removing it. Also, would it be better to remove the torsion bar's tension sooner that you did? Not meaning to be critical, just curious. Thanks for sharing this.
Does anyone know where I can get the exact same bolt for the lower part of the shock absorber. I’m having a hard time finding the one with just the washer.
Good, helpful video. Hopefully, on your truck the strut mounting bolt to the control arm bushing isn't seized, otherwise you'll likely need to cut the bolt or the bottom of the strut to remove the old bushing and bolt. A major PITA.
.....and now we're just going to drive this puppy to the junk yard and then head to the dealer to go ahead and lease a brand new Toyota, there just like that...

Finally! A Video explaining the Torsion bar issue with the lower control arm!
Please specify 4x2 vs 4x4 in the title. They have different setups.

Very informitive I am confident this will aid me in this adventure.
Excellent video. I have to do this on my 08 and thanks for the torque specs. 👍
What is the part number for the bushing you didn't replace?
Is it possible to use a large c clamp to remove the torsion bar key?
