    Right about 25k. They said what helps to wear them out is getting wet then dry then muddy then dry, etc.

    FYI, I read more on that page I posted. Lube is good based on our operating environment. Keep reading that thread link I posted to the bottom of the page. Better information from SKF

    ya just for the soft clamps. The other parts are not expensive.

    bearing $15.99
    spacer $8.50
    c-clip $2.50
    rod end $45.00

    I was just going to say after asking the googles that you were right about no lube. Now I don't know what to do LOL

    I would lube as per SKF. I think their directions are more in line with our operating environment based on their comment

    Toyota of Kirkland, I got in contact with the service rep and he said he'll give me a call back.

    Drives straighter though. I plowed a stump when you got stuck on that log

    Well, they believe the issue is the driveshaft angle and the lack of me having my AAL in and they said I should put it in and then see if the light goes away

    Is your steering wheel still off center? That was what caused mine to come on. Haven't had any issues with the dakars and shackle flip. Just over 4" in the rear.

    How long do you drive before it comes on? Or is it instantly on once you start the truck?

    Hi all,
    I'll be installing a lift sometime in the next few weeks and was wondering if anybody had a recommendation on a shop to get an alignment at. I'm in Renton. Not all my parts are here yet but it should be soon.

    Is this the FAQ you are referring to?

    • What maintenance do I need to perform on my rod ends and spherical bearings to keep them operating properly?
    • For metal-to-metal rod ends and spherical bearings, a thin layer of grease applied occasionally to ball outside diameter will assist in extending the life of these products. Rod ends and spherical bearings that are Teflon lined are self-lubricating and are designed to be maintenance free and should not be lubricated.

    When I first read this, I thought you were suggesting greasing them but since the King spherical bearings are teflon lined, I am confused.

    An I missing something?

    edit: Ok, I see you had posted 2 links. The quote above is obviously ftom the Aurora site.

    I am still curious though. The FSK site suggests there is more than one type of teflon lined bearing. They are specific enough to say certain grease is ok with only one of the two types.

    Does King use the PTFE fabric type or the PTFE composite type?

    I suggest a lifetime alignment from Firestone. Mine has paid for itself many times over.

    I have read in this thread that some have had good experiences with the one in Renton.
