expert opinion on steep cv angles needed

I am running the OME 3'' but I didn't put the spacer in and I have already been through one CV its not to bad about $150 and I just keep the old and re boot it for a back up.

 

Gotcha

Thank you! That is probably the most helpful information ever for me off this whole thread (sorry guys)! How long were you drivin with it before you had problems?

 

almost a full year

 

Thanks! Were you running the 885s? on a V6?

 

yup I have the Ac Cab

 

I'm definitely gonna be takin the spacers off next week. Thanks. Good thing I asked.

 

A general rule of thumb is don't lift it so high that the boot fins rub. You want to be able to see a little gap between the fins of the boot.

 

This thread has me worried about mine.....

 

Yours look ok, but to tell we need a closer shot of the boot its self. And refer to my post to tell for your self.

 

Ok thanks ill check it out tomorrow

 

I have toytec coilovers with the eibach coils on my 03 trd mounted at the setting they came with 1.25" of thread left to crank up and Im sittin at 25" hub to fender. My cv angles are practically identical to these. ^^^ MY inner boots are rubbing just like your boot slide mod goin on sunday. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...blowing-cv-boots-post2883987.html#post2883987

 

Yep

 

Wait, OP, you have aftermarket UCA's? and its still a problem? how about you others? im ordering my Toytec Coilovers probably next week, and was planning on getting UCAs over the summer.. if the CVs are gonna 'Shit The Bed' either way, why waste $500... any input is helpful, im also going to go back and check that other CV thread.. Thanks!

 

The after market UCAs have nothing to do with lowering the CV angles. The aftermarket UCAs allow for correct alignment and more articulation.

 

Oops.. i knew that too.. my bad..
