2008 Toyota 4Runner 4dr SUV
260-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range
| 100000 mi US $680 |
Right front wheel bearing noisy |
| 82000 mi US $170 |
Rack and pinion leaking, dealership service completely replaced. Was covered by certified used warranty, but I had to pay flush. |
| 190000 mi US $900 |
Car originally came with x-reas suspension system that was a closed system, at the end of its life and very expensive to replace. Were able to replace it with a traditional suspension system without much of a change in feel. |
2008 Toyota 4Runner 4dr SUV
236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
| 172000 mi US $244 |
Grinding noise from front of car. Noise went away when cornering to one side. Replaced both front wheel hubs with pre-assembled Dorman hubs. |
| 206000 mi US $300 |
Had to replace front shock eye bushings on both sides. The rubber had worn and the bolt was no longer centered. This was to save the Xreas shocks. |
| 241000 mi US $150 |
Steering wheel became extremely difficult to turn. Seemed like power steering had failed. Internet search suggested steering column CV joint. Lubing this mitigated the problem. Had shop replace the CV joint. |
| 95000 mi US $70 |
The front stabilizer links were worn out. |
| 113000 mi | Leaking front strut with tire wear. Since equipped with X-REAS system dealer said that all 4 struts and hydraulic lines must be replaced at the same time ($2300). Instead installed 4 aftermarket struts and removed X-REAS. Noise from new replacement struts, most likely due to improper tightening of top nut. |
