New to me 1979 FJ40 - have several questions on drivability.

Already have a drill press in the shop, so that is good.

Can I use a cap head screw and not drill them out? I am going on a parts run tomorrow so I dont mind getting any bolts I need.

Thanks

A cap head (Allen) bolt may work. You want to check that the head is close to the size hole in the spring perch, a slip fit. If not the springs can shift and change alignment during use. When I bought OME springs the pins were to small and I made bushings that kept the springs properly located on the perch pads.

Toe in wise, usually 1/8" works at least it does for me. You want the least amount of toe-in that keeps it running straight. Excessive toe-in speeds up tire wear.
