What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Yes I'm doing a swap. Just because my little engine that could finally gave out so I figure I might as well throw in a 3.4l.

 

You dont need to watch them, just go in and tell them what you want and say it needs to be within these tolerances. Youre paying for the service, it should be to your standards.

What is it youre planning to have done to fix the rear alignment and lean?

 

I was going to put a 1/4" top plate on the driver side to keep it level with the other side.

 

Have you done anything to the rear leafs? Im not sure if the raising the drivers body lean is going to effect it enough. Im interested to see the results.

 

Yea I added a AAL. And you might see some results when I put it on sometime next month.

 

Thats right! Shame on you!

 

While everybody is on this subject today... What's your opinions on my alignment?

 

Gentlemen, this is what a alignment report should look like.

I would have liked a little more caster and camber, but what you have is acceptable. Rear toe is off a bit, but not much you can do other then hammering at the axle pins. Overall it looks good.

 

Lost bolt and broken key later...Finally got the Thule feet/crossbars mounted up.

 

Does it grease the actual shaft itself ciz that's what it looks like and I just greased that so we will see what happens. Is there supposed to be snap rings/clips on the tops of the rear u joint because there is none. No "channel" for them either from what I can see thought it was just kind of weird that that u joint doesn't have any?!

 

Another question about the 3rz and 5vz. Is the mass air flow sensor the same as well?

 

The u joint it's self has a grease zerk in the middle of the joint, the one you are greasing is for the slip yoke. It has nothing to do withe u joint it's self. The snap rings slide in on the inside, not on the outside like most others. Here is a link that will show you all the zerks.

I drove over 2k RPMs!

 

I'm 2WD

 

Yeah I know that there is a zerk for the u joint and one for the slip yoke, I greased both of them and I will see tomorrow if one of them was the culprit!

 

well, there's your problem man

 

, Not

 

I think there different. Not 100% sure though.
