Comments
If any leakage found on shocks, they must be replaced.
Shocks and struts should be replaced in axle pairs using
Toyota genuine parts.
Do not use solvents in the area of the strut seal when cleaning
up these components to avoid damaging seals.
Drive belts and hoses free of cracks or damage, and at
proper tension.
No cracks or broken mount tabs. Remove all locking lug nuts
unless the proper key is present. Aftermarket wheels (of good
quality and same size) and offset are satisfactory. No reversed
wheels; wheels are not bent.
No excessive damage, bulges or cupping. If condition exists,
check wheel alignment.
Wheels must be the same size and offset as OEM. Aftermarket
wheels meeting these criteria are acceptable if size does not
exceed the largest TRD factory accessory wheel for that specific
model. If not OEM equipped, the spare tire circumference must be
the same.
All valve stems must have caps.
If originally equipped with a full-size spare, a full-size spare must
be present, properly inflated and of the same size, speed and load
rating as OEM equipped. Spare must meet same standards as
OEM-equipped tires, but it does not have to be the same brand
as four tires on ground.
If brake pads are to be replaced, use of Toyota genuine parts
is recommended.
