    Don't even waste your time.

    Call there and ask for the service manger. Tell him your issues and be honest. He should be able to tell you on the spot if he can cover it - after all he is the head service writer. If he can't give you an answer over the phone he is a moron and you shouldn't waste your time driving there.

    True. The one down the street wouldn't cover it again, mainly because they keep calling it "camber adjustment bolts" and not the bushing or LCA.

    call them back or go there and explain that it's the bushing thats rusy and seizing not the bolt. tell them the bolt is coated with an anti corrosive and the bushing is raw steel. once the raw steel rusted it seized up the bolt.

    If you want I has pics you can supply them so they know what your talking about. see here http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/su...-replacement-2005-tacoma-4x4.html#post3691528

    It'll be next week before I get to it. I am leaving for another week... I will give it time to die down then go back at it. I have until October 23rd to get them to cover it.

    wussy :D


    I was just kidding anyway, but thanks. I have serious issues they won't fix. I need something like Mike has on his ride. My tabs are bent, but worse then that is the grooves I wore away on the LCA mount.

    So replace them. They're only spot welded on.

    Hah! Some of them have spot welds, some of them have a bead on them. It looks really easy, but it is a pain in the ass. Just accessing the area is a big part of it.

    Boyd, I would be glad to help you out, or just give you advice. My first piece of advice, remove the Axle shafts.

    No. I fear it may be gone.
    Never said I was scared.

    Fred's garage, a lift and a few extra hands would make the job way easier. I did it alone, on my back, in the driveway. (sounds dirty ;) )

    Substitute "Yellowstone" for "driveway" and that quote could be from someone else.

    My one is shot anyway so.... :(

    You tell em Ben.

    My truck will never roll inside the "Euro Garage" :facepalm:

    It's not cool enough. Check out Fred's Fakebook posts from yesterday. I asked them if they had to rename the garage because all their Eurotrash is always breaking down. I got called a Toyota fan boy by one of his VW friends *ben type snicker*

    PErhaps I should change that to A garage. A lift would be a huge help. Might as well change both axles while they are out.

    I made a Plasti-Dip comment on Instagram about a photo of one of Fred's Hitler youth friends. He didn't get the joke.
