Who here actually runs Poly Performance Taco Tabs on their 2nd Gen?

I have a 2013 Tacoma Baja dcsb with bilstein 5100's set at zero on OME 886's, SPC uca's set at D. Demello steel winch bumper with led lights and 12.5k lb winch. Rear is stock leafpacks with overload removed and Wheelers 3 leaf add a leaf installed, bilstein 5100's (removed the bilstein 5160's), Firestone ride rite airbags and daystar cradles. I mostly daily drive this truck but do alot of towing and hauling with it and the roads around Pittsburgh/western Pa are all steep windy crater/pothole infested roads so my alignments never last long.

I'm hoping to help cure this with the Poly Performance Taco Tabs I ordered. I just replaced the inner and outer tie rod ends last week and will be replacing the complete lca's this week so I'll install the Taco Tabs at that time.

Is anyone else running these and what settings are you putting the tabs at? How many miles on them and has it helped to keep the alignment?






Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Provided your alignment is good, currently. What you would want to do is make a note of where your bolts are now in relation to the alignment tabs and then use the correct poly tabs to orient the bolts in approximate the same spot.

I haven't run these but I see that they'd be beneficial if you run your truck hard since the eccentric bolts can get knocked out of position easily. You only get 3 positions vs fully adjustable so there is a possibility you'd need an in-between size to get it perfect. You could always make a custom one if you needed to. Would be cool if they made an add-on kit with one more option between "full in/out" and "center".

 

Ever install these?

 

Yes I did. Work great, easy to install and quick change out if needed.

 

Are these less susceptible to seizing in the LCA bushings like the OEM bolts? I’ll probably get an alignment in the near future and always prepare for the dreaded seizure of the cam bolts. These are a lot cheaper than OEM replacements. OP do you still like yours? I heard the Moog greasables were garbage, so if my cam bolts were seized, I’d go with these or OEM.

 

I still have them and have adjusted them since installing for alignment configuration. I greased them when installing them and haven't had any problems removing them since. These are bigger bolts too so they are stronger then oem.
