This factory service and repair manual is written for the 2001 Toyota 4Runner specifically — that model year, the 3.4L V6 (5VZ-FE) under the hood and the trim the truck left the plant as — so the clearances and tightening sequences it quotes are the figures Toyota published for this vehicle rather than values carried over from an adjacent year that shared the badge.

Known issues on the 2001 4Runner. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers the front suspension lower ball joint: a manufacturing issue meant the surface of the ball of the joint may have been scratched, and the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle, causing loss of steering control. Owners have filed 206 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 49 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether you are inspecting the front lower ball joints and steering knuckles, chasing a fault one of those bulletins already describes, or working a scheduled service on the 3.4L V6, it holds you to Toyota's procedure and the correct 2001 4Runner specification.
