SUSPENSION LOOSE AFTER LIFT/ALIGNMENT

Hi everyone
I lifted my tacoma with bilstein 5100 together with Element UCA, everything was going well leaving the workshop the following days I sent the car to alignment, days later I began to feel a little play and it increased with the time, I went to the workshop again and found The tie rods are damaged and they have already been changed, They told me that everything was tight, shock absorbers, UCA, tie rods ... etc, only the LCA screws were tightened a little more
I left the workshop and felt good again, but I already have that play that I mentioned before, it is lighter than before but I already looked in this forum and I cannot find concise answers.

It is difficult to explain, but the play I feel is at low speeds on uneven streets, in reverse it is usually felt more, it is felt mainly on the steering wheel and pedals

i have 3 theories

1- the screws and bushings of the LCA are damaged or poorly tightened
2- something in the steering column
3- UCA with defects?

 

It's going to be impossible to diagnose what is loose/damaged over the internet. Any reputable alignment shop should be able to find the problem.

 

Sorry man. That is for a shop to fix. Any good shop can tell you what is the problem. Sometimes you cannot fix it over the internet.

 

All I will add is get under there, then grab and shake everything. If something has play, you found it. You may not find it this way, but it is all a shop is going to do initially.

 

@Carlosbaez97 Try jack up front . Wiggle tires while holding 6 and 12 o’clock to check wheel bearings and do it also while holding 3 and 9 o’clock . Do it the other side too.

 

Going to have to retorque everything back to specs. If it keeps coming loose you have have damage on the threads or an improperly installed suspension that might be shifting.

 

This is a perfect example of why I am glad I know how to work on vehicles.
