Put the front tires in the air & do the wheel shake with your hands at the 12 & 6 o clock position..

 

I'm going tomorrow to refinance both of our trucks down to a 2.99 from over 5.5% and dropping a few months plus going from 518 on the taco to 481 and 505 on the runner to 489.

 

I only have 40,000 miles. I will be pretty pissed if the bushings are toast already that is freaking sad.

 

Damn those some high payments man.

 

You ain't kidding. Lmao but gotta take into effect I have had a 13 altima a 13 silverado a 13 tacoma and aother 13 tacoma then the 4runner. I've traded in 2 2013 vehicles with less then 10k on both for these we have now.

 

Between the mortgage at 955 a boat at 220 the trucks other bills and child care. I think I'm doing good for 25.

 

Must be. I don't have a kid (yet) I know in some cases child care is more than a mortgage. Going to kill my 401k savings accounts if we get Prego lol

 

Like jack it up or put it on jack stands I assume.

 

Yes.

 

Mine probably started around then but couldn't pin point it. Only found it when spotting for my wife and watching the LCA move in the mounts. Still won't while yanking and pulling on the LCA while jacked up.

 

I was listening again leaving for work. I def think it is that. Sounds almost exacly like Chris's video. Ok guys so point me to the right link for the best replacement LCA bushing. I might have to pay someone to put these in for me since I just got my cast off last week and can't really do crap and also just do not have the time :/ (I can't believe these can go bad that soon)

 

I bought energy suspension polyurethane replacements. And yes.....i would advise getting it done...i did it myself with a buddies help...pain. in. The. Ass. Took waaaaaaay too long to get em replaced lol. Id Check out to see if your LCAs are flexing and moving like mine were.

 

yeah I figure I could buy them and take them to a auto shop and have them do it. I wouldn't be able to tighten, push/pull on anything until my wrist is completely healed anyway and that could be 6-8 months I think. If it takes as long as it has taken to put on the 3 lift kits I have done I rather just pay someone anyway, my time is more valuable lol. I'll check out those bushings, I assume you greased the hell out of them too before putting them in?

 

these guys?

Between the bushings and LCA weld failures, I see more people going to aftermarket LCAs. I'll be doing that this fall, not worth the risk of being stranded for me.

 

Ya it took us fom the early am to closing at the hobby shop (6pm). But half that time was BSing around and going to get a new tank of adacine gas (I think thats what it was) since the welder was out of the gas and would couldn't get the flame hot enough to burn the rubber bushings out. I out a good amount of grease in thrk, not alot but enough to have them slide in.

 

Actually I think these are the ones.
