    I would think it would be more the ball joints or bushings causing that issue then, upper or lower... but new UCAs could fix it yeah.

    I'm on here and on 4Runners.com and hear it on both sides.

    But I notice those that balk at me are those that don't even wrench (for the most part).

    Ball joints are probably a year old at that this point, bushings are new.

    unless the bushings I got are trash, but other haven’t had issues

    Pfft, I've replaced a few windshields under comprehensive, $0 deductible.

    Is a broken/cracked windshield an infraction in NV?

    It is here in CA.

    My truck was getting aligned at the end of the day yesterday and they called me to tell me the LBJ on one side is bad. Up/down play, probably has under 40k miles on it. Just ordered another pair from McGeorge last night.

    Hmm… I didn’t find any play when I gave everything a look as I put the 31’s back on, but maybe.

    This will be the 3rd set of LBJs this truck has had since I got it 5 years ago, although I have been good about doing it proactively considering I haven't had one fail yet. That's one club I am hoping to avoid becoming a member of

    Granted, the ones I ordered won't be here until next week so hopefully I don't become a member between now and then

    It became official last year that you can knock on drywall instead for good luck in CA to avoid risk of wildfires

    I'm too cheap to waste money on energy drinks, caffeine pills are where it's at

    just don't ever take one on an empty stomach, I imagine it's what the onset of impending death by poisoning feels like

    Set up a your phone to vid and watch the front wheels during braking, see if the wheels push forward.

    not just that, 200mg of caffeine hitting at once on an empty stomach gave me cold sweats and nausea like no other. I was at work and willed myself over to the vending machine, only thing that wasn't candy were pop tarts so I ate 4 or 5 of them. Never again

    Those Bang energy drinks do the same thing to me even on a full stomach, those things are evil

    I don’t drink bangs.
    The only drinks I’ll do are Rockstar Recovery Lemonade and Orange juice. 160 mg of caffeine and 2g of sugar
