Northern Virginia Roll Call

Makes sense about some needs...still though it does leave a good amount of room to debate what you are willing to throw on it.

 

I doubt it's responsible for your wobble man. that could be tie rods / ball joints / alignment / tires out of balance or wearing uneven

but from what youre describing... I'd go OME lift, Dakar leaf pack, w/ LR UCAs and take the rest of the money you would have spent on Icons and put all new ball joints / tie rods / wheel bearings in

 

guilty

 

Wheel bearings do go out quite fast...replaced mine at 80k.

 

yep he only have 45k ish miles on his.... so it might not be ALL of those things mentioned... but he's likely not getting death wobble from a 2.5" spacer lift and a 2" block in the rear....

 

Could it be the needle bearing? I know as you get close to three inches of lift you start to push that component, although it does sound like wheel bearings are in order. He could always try to remove the wheel and the hub cover and see if there is any milky residue around it. Might see something, or might not.

 

but dont i have to go to the stealership to get those replaced or can i go to my local garage?

 

yep... I'm sure we can look it over and probably have a little better idea about where it's coming from

 

@DOUBLLD can help you out and has the shop and his prices are virtually nothing compared to a dealership

 

Agreed. I would recommend spending the extra coin to get them new with the prepressed assemblies. They cost more, but the whole assembly is fresh and should make for install pretty straight forward. @nj636 is who I got my stuff from. He is in jersey, so it gets here pretty fast.

 

yea that's a solid idea.... especially if it makes for an easy bolt on and youre done!

 

True, only issue is there is no easy way around getting that hub out first. You have to take a pry bar and very slowly shim it out by constantly pressing all sides. Its something worth paying someone for even with the assembly. Once it is off though, its just a simple bolt on process, but you have to once again be very careful in installing the hub assembly and ensure that the bolts are tightened down very evenly.

 

I second that.

 

and that's where Dan would come in handy

I parked next to a TRD Pro Tundra in cement the other day at work...... had to flip my boner up into my wasteband. haha

 

Yep, just stating that there are still challenges with a full hub assembly.

 

Since we all seem to be on TW all day long while at work, why don't we all just open an off-road park/Tacoma garage around here somewhere and quit our jobs?

 

I wont quit, but Im interested in renting out a garage space

 

bleh.... I've only done a few hub assemblies.... they still haunt my dreams. haha

hours w/ a blow torch and dead blow hammer.....

because we would have zero money to mod our own Tacomas haha

 

Lol I meant let's start a business!

 

can I be an investor? and keep working my current, steady, decent paying job??? haha
