Broke passenger side front axle

Recently did a 3 “ inch lift front with a 2” inch rear lift and a front axle spacer drop kit with new hardware. Ran great for 10 days. Original fox shocks, passenger side front axle came apart coming out of my driveway. The only thing I can say I am truly glad I was not on the highway doing 65. The other sickening story is; it’s new and 6200 miles on the truck.

 

Exactly WHAT "Came Apart"? Bearings? Ball Joints? Mounts? Spindle snapped?

 

Sounds like somebody not skilled in the tasks assigned to them screwed up!

 

I'm going to go ahead and say that something with the "front axle spacer drop kit with new hardware" was not done right.

 

Will have pictures for you today have in my garage will jack it up and see what happened it snapped picked the bearings up in front of my driveway thanks for your reply.

 

Post pictures. Different angles, in detail, from different distances.

 

Sure will, wife’s lol thanks for the info

 

I would be prepared for the dealer to blame the modifications for the failure.

 

Just so we’re clear...you put a 3” spacer lift on a TRD Pro?

 

I wonder if one of the CV joints was hyper extended during the work...leading to it's demise?

 

Pic of drivers side, before you jack-it up.... So. we can see the angle of that axle. Guessing cv joints/boots are pinch, big time.

 

Not gonna speculate much but it sounds like you stacked a spacer lift on the truck with the already lifted (in the front, correct?) Pro suspension.

 

I believe the joints were hyper extended also I definitely believe warranty is no longer. I have not even had my first oil change. Oh well live and learn.

 

Take the lift off, and take it in to dealer for warranty. Don't put that lift back on. At least, not to that height.

 

Because that’s not dishonest fraud or anything like that...

 

Are you serious? Guy breaks his truck with aftermarket components and you want dealer to fix? How in the world do you think the dealer or Toyota should be responsible for that?

 

Oh this is going to be good

 

How exactly did it break though? You may also want to replace the drivers side half shaft as well. (After correcting the problem of course.)
