UCA bolt came out...

Meh

 

First off do you have a 5 lug? If so i think you have two upper UCA bolts on each side 4 total. The 6 lug has two one each side. The 2008 came that way. As for the blower motor keep making them replace it I got three than warrenty ran out.

 

I forgot learned that when I installed my lift> I went to the dealer told them what I needed when the parts came in they gave me two short bolts I said this is not right they said yes it is, I had to take the dum ass out side to look at my truck. Then he told me they were for a 5 lug reg cab. I don't know if the torque is dif. than posted.

 

Its a 6 lug

 

I still am confused as to why the bolt would back out uphill on it's own , like against gravity and shit

 

oh, i know. its strange. I suppose they will call monday and let me know whats going on. My luck that damn nut will be 100 bucks...

 

220.00 to fix it. talk about getting the shaft...

 

very true, but i dont feel like hearing lip from them about warranty issues. so if they fix it, and it does it again- its on them.

 

I usually defend dealer labor shop rates, but I can't think of any rationale for that.

 

But if you did it yourself you know it wouldnt happen again because it would be done right

 

How is it not a warranty issue anyway ?


And any explanation about how the bolt defied gravity ?

 

Not sure, they said they found tooling marks on the end of the bolt, so maybe my mechanic did touch it, not sure. He said he didnt, and he has never lied before, or has a reason to.
As far as the anti-gravity, I am going to ask about that.

I also asked them to double check all the fastening points on the suspension/spindle/etc. That way its documented that all the contact points were touched by them last.

BTW, the 220 also included an alignment, which they said I needed.
We will see what happens tomorrow when I pick it up.

 

bastards... call toyota hotline and let corporate know what a crock of shit that is
