Afternoon all.

 

Sup Barrie

 

I've heard their coffee is pretty good. I would buy it just b/c of them being patriotic if I drank it

 

Sitting here waiting on parts, get this truck power window fixed then head home.

 

Should the parts be in today?

 

They just delivered them.

 

Nice

 

Back home in nice ac.

 

wow its been quite in here last few nights. now what am i supposed to do with myself for the next few wks im on the midnight watch

 

Buy shit

I think after this trip to TN, I'm gonna need a new steering rack I'm hearing popping when turning

 

Morning Phil, ball joints or cv shafts are my guess.

 

I looked at the CV boots, UCA bushings and UCA ball joint boot. All were fine with no signs of grease leaking out of the boots. I didn't look at the tie-rod ends. Truck still drives straight as an arrow, just the sound when turning slow or on a bump.

 

As a rule steering racks don't make a noise they just leak when going bad.

 

Could it be a tie-rod?

 

Possible I suppose but I doubt it, let me know what your mechanic finds.

 

Does the LCA's have ball joints on them? I have read they(not sure which part of the LCA) are a weak link on the Tacomas. Good thing if it's UCA ball joint....the JBA uses a GM one that can be bought at the parts store if I'm not mistaken.

 

They do, some vehicles don't have an upper.

 

I know my upper does

Mine look like these

 

I love those, easy to change.

 

I knew of JBA from back in the TJ days, they also got good reviews here. They were also some of the cheapest
