Bent suspension

Bought a 2012 long bed 4x4 tacoma and I need to replace the right steering knuckle, upper lower control arms, inner and outer tie rods, and wheel bearing.. Any ideas on How much all this would cost me or if when i do buy the parts are they hard to install? Always wanting to upgrade if possible.

 

Im not positive yet this is just what the dealership is telling me i bought it from and bought the extended warranty which covered all those parts but he told me a price yesterday of 2600$ blaming me for jumping the truck which is Bull $%!+

 

Must of been a big hit.

If you go all aftermarket it probably wont be more than 1k for everything.

 

If the lower control arms bent, there’s a good chance the frames bent. Would be interesting to know the backstory on this.

 

Something isn't adding up.....

 

Any aftermarket upgrades?

 

I will once i get it back from them i had the warranty people go over there and ream them for not coving the warranty. The tire had negative camber near rubbing upper control arm

 

That’s a bent knuckle.

 

So i bought the truck from the dealership and bought the extended warranty im not at home at the moment but whenn i called them they told me how the hell do they know you jumped your truck all this stuff is in your warranty.

 

So did you or didn’t you jump the truck?
And if so, did you tell them?

Parts are around $700 on RockAuto.
I’d advise you not to go cheap on the wheel bearing.
I know this from experience.
I’d go ahead an throw new dust seals in it too.

 

No i did not jump the truck.

 

Would like to see some pictures of this.

 

This is like pulling teeth out of a grizzly bear. So, you bought the truck somewhere between 2 days ago and 8 years ago, and all of a sudden you realize that the wheel’s leaned in at the top and there’s no explanation on how it got that way.

 

Must have been one hell of a pot hole!!! We’re not being told something?!

 

You have a warranty,and you did not do the damage to the truck,either they fix the truck that THEY sold you DAMAGED ,or lawyer up!

 

This is the second time the truck been to the shop since I have had it. First was the u joints. I have had it alnost a month now

 

Guess the truck hit a curb pretty crazy

 

I’m thinking this is a trolling expedition.

 

I guess it depends on what kind of warranty you bought but most won’t cover damaged parts due to driver error. If you bought the truck damaged then the repairs should be on your dime, a consequence of not inspecting the truck prior to paying for it. If you can’t prove the truck was sold to you damaged then the dealership has absolutely no reason to honor a warranty claim.
