    BLAH...it was here this morning and is still snowing off and on (but not accumulating anymore). I had to scrape 4" off my truck this morning....one of the rare instances it wasn't in the garage overnight. I am ready for spring...probably killed my tomato plants, even though they were in walls of water...:annoyed:

    Went to get an alignment and got bad news. Couldn't perform the alignment on the right because of the lower control arm. May have to take it to the stealer ship so they can rape me to fix it unless someone has experience with this.

    How does this happen?

    I agree and am using a bilstein set up now which works fine. I was just looking at the cost of an upgrade for the future and got sticker shock. It would probably take me 2-3 years of saving up OT and selling things to save up that kind of fuding for that level of upgrade

    Too few to list.
    Most likely your last alignment shop bent the tab as that shouldn't be upside down either.

    Cam tab is bent. Happens from jogging the wheels hard wheeling or running into curbs. Shit like that. Cut them out and reweld some total chaos ones in there and you'll be rocking. I'll find some pics of mine.

    I didn't really know too much about them when I bought it. I googled "pre-wash" and this one came up. Didn't even know about the pressure washer type or I would of gotten that one. This thing was like $70. Works good but sucks down my soap. You have to fill that plastic reservoir up over halfway with soap. So it's kind of expensive to use also. That's why I only use it when the truck is Nasty.

    Good investment anyway unless mall crawler. Doesn't take much to throw Tacomas out of alignment.

    Or get heimed uppers and solid mount the LCA
