Thank you Fryphax and agreed. For instance, it looks like the 2003 v8 4x4 AC apparently uses a specific LBJ bolt with a different torque spec that is not consistent with other 1st Gen years (37 vs 59 ft lbs.), and there is a kit for both the LBJs that seems to be the cheapest way to get the OEM LBJs from Toyota:

Lower Ball Joint Bolts: PN 90119-10933

Lower Ball Joint Kit (both left and right LBJs): PN 04005-21134

Toyota verified using the VIN.

But even more confusing, and what I was pointing out here that seems to make it difficult for people trying to learn how to read the alignment chart in the FSM, is the example in the original post of this thread to the "1st Gen FSM" (looks like this might be the 2006 FSM). That document seems to give the numeric values in the example on page SA-6 for the black dot ("standard value") that are actually for the white dot ("measured current value"), and the numeric values for the white dot that are actually for the black dot - and this seems reversed! The figures and pictures seem correct from the example give in the FSM you posted.

Was wondering if you or others that put your eyes on this agree it is an apparent typo?

Thanks again.

I will be working on the alignment today hopefully if I don't get too many work calls. I'll have to review then. Figuring this one out as I go.

I need to re-adjust my toe on my 06. Last weekend I had help from Casey and his tools, installing new front end parts. But I can't remember what size wrench to use for the tie rod lock nut. I remember the tie rod itself adjusts with an 18mm. I don't have a metric wrench above 19mm, so I'd have to use a crescent wrench. But since I'm picking up one of these from HD tomorrow, I figured I might as well grab the proper wrench, if anyone knows what size I'll need. Thanks.
