    glad to hear that, thank you for the update. I see you just got the frame replaced, how was the process. Happy?

    I did, yes. The process was a bit lengthy, but very good overall and well worth the wait. Happy? Try ecstatic! My truck has never been better! :)

    I bought my 2005 truck used in 2011. The previous owner banged up the front a bit and it would never align within tolerances. The improper alignment was annoying, but it wasn't bad enough to compel me to spend $900 to replace the driver's side LCA and adjustment cams. Now, it drives as straight as an arrow. I ordered new spark plugs, plus front calipers, pads, and brake rotors which I'll be installing this weekend. I'll be ordering new shocks & struts next week. By Feb 1, my 10-year-old Tacoma is going to be in tip-top shape, and that is a great feeling!

    no developments on the PreRunner hub flange. I am still in contact with Dorman and two other manufacturers to reproduce the flange, no real advancements since then.

    $275 for my assembly will still save you a large amount rather than having a shop or dealer do the job. Someone just told me Toyota wanted to charge $877 to rebuilt and install one bearing :eek:

    With my assembly you save money and receive all new parts that are built to exact specifications.

    Yep, the current frame replacements include the LCAs, adjusting cams and related hardware, new rear leaf springs, and quite a few brake lines.

    Maybe I have an overly rosy view, but I think Toyota is making an excellent effort. I mean, it sucks that the frames had flaws, but that's the unfortunate nature of machines and engineering - sometimes things just don't work out as expected. I guess what speaks to me is the fact that Toyota sunk $13,500 into a 10-year-old truck with 143,600 miles on it that was worth maybe $10k. They didn't have to do that, and given the age of my truck I would have understood if they'd said they were sorry and offered a significant trade-in incentive.

    Apologies - I didn't mean to hijack your bearing thread! :)

    Agreed, hats off to Toyota for their efforts on the frame replacement campaign. It seems that the majority affected are happy with the replacement.

    I'm glad your finally riding smooth and straight after all of these year :cool:

    Hat's off to Toyota. Seriously??? Yeah hat's off for still screwing everybody on bad frames, bad wheel bearings, front diff bushings. But hey they finally fixed the driveline vibe for the 2016. Only took 10 years. But yeah hat's off to Toyota

    Nope not at all love the actual truck, just shouldn't have to replace items that come defective straight from the Factory. And the fact that they are still being used from the Factory is really upsetting. Goes to show Toyota is just like every other business, only cares about the mighty dollar. And not the return customers that don't get anything in return for being loyal. I will be buying 2 assemblies from you to have on hand

    It's for a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser (Drivers side/front).Thanks.
