1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

There is definitely some play in there, but is it too much? The drivers side had less play. I checked my Toyota history and the original owner of my truck (2003) had the lower ball joint recall done in 2005. I don't hear any clunking when driving. It has been on my to-do list to check this out.

 

I dont think it should have any play

 

Need to call uhaul's insurance and bitch at them. Coming up on 2 weeks since they approved my claim and said they were putting a check in the mail and the day they said I could expect it by came and went

 

The only "acceptable" amount of play is .5mm....which you won't be able to see. So if you see any play at all its time to change them out.

Also I think you'll get a better idea of how much play they have if you use a pry bar to check. I just changed mine out and they looked like they had the same amount as yours did. The new ones I installed had zero visible play whatsoever after I put them in

 

Thanks for the feedback. I had a big pry bar under the tire pushing up on the tire. Maybe I should have put a board between the tire and crow bar so I could have wailed on it. I was pretty sure I saw play, but thought I would get an opinion from someone that has experience with it.
It isn't flopping around so I guess I can take a few weeks to get things together and replace them..... and not have the tire fall off

 

Thanks.
I just realized I posted in the lunchtable thread. I meant to post this in the check your ball joints thread that I apparently had open next to the lunchthread.

Yeah that method works too, in your video you can see the balljoint moving independently a bit which isnt good. I usually put a pry bar between the LBJ bolt head and the end of the LCA and push up\down which will show of there's any movement in the joint.

Probably to long. Plus no transfer case. Also probably cant get it carb legal

 

True. Probably hangs to low. Also remember i cant really go any farther back then stock. Drive shaft is already short af

 

If i sas i can just toss in a LS with a 5l40-e and a divorce np203 and call it good. Still cant pass carb though

 

Find a wreck SxS and just body swap

 

out a chevy engine in an srunner and i will personally come hurt you..



or the van

 

Im talking about the van. I wouldn’t swap the srunner. If anything it will get SC one day maybe

 

But I would never swap the van to. Its to hard to get a motor to fit

 

I should find limited tacoma seats and put them in the van

 

oof. right in the feels
