Shock Absorber Loose?

Glad you got it done, hopefully your lca's aren't too seized for the alignment. I use Firestone for my alignments, since I bought the lifetime deal, they have been fine with my lift and wheels/tires 265/70/17. Not sure why they would scratch your wheels just because their wider. I mean what about vehicles with wider wheels from the factory?

 

Yeah the dealership was a waste of time for me. They said they could do it, but they would end up scratching the wheels. I just declined, and took my truck somewhere else.

I went to Firestone, but now I have a new problem. Passenger wheel bearing has to be replaced, before I get it aligned. Looking at a $700 bill. Not sure if I'll be willing to do this, but will shop around for more better deals.
My alignment is off, but truck is for the most part drive-able.

The fun doesn't end

Or do it yourself for 175$.

 

Dang you're quick , thanks!

I'm checking this out right now actually. Seems like this is pre-assembled, so I don't have to have anything pressed. That was my concern.

 

It’s extremly easy to do, there is a write up link on that page as well. The whole assembly is just held on by 4 bolts, and preasembled for easy install.

 

Install looks good! I bet you'll be really happy with the ride quality when it's all buttoned up. You might want to check your power steering fluid level, The rack appears to be weeping.

 

Cool. I might be able to do it myself, but not till next year.

Is there anyway I can check these myself? I'm just going off the Firestone's guy word here. Though I would think he'd do the alignment if it were possible, but they declined doing it, saying it would be pointless.

Should I just save up to replace both sides? Edit: (I'm just going to replace them both).

Thanks, I'll check the fluid levels out now. Which is the rack :/ in the pic?

I can see the ride quality difference already. Potholes used to be really hard with the Bilsteins on the highest setting, but they feel so much better now. I'll take pics of the truck once its cleaned up today .

 

Just ahead of the front axle, The accordian boot looks wet.

 

Thanks, I checked, level at cold min and looks good. The old owner seems like they went mudding, a lot. The underside of the engine looks wet with mud. I was also told my timing chain might be leaking from Toyota (Cost $2,000 to replace). I see no leaks though, and its been in my garage for the past month or two. They told me I needed spark plugs too, but I barely replaced it 1000 miles ago.
