    The tacoma has a c channel frame from the a pillar back and so it has a lot of flex in the rear.

    Glad it worked out. But either way, never completely trust a CarFax or similar report.

    Yup. Mine is trashed. They dent like soft cheese and are impossible to get back into shape if you bend one. Terrible spring back.

    Replacements are $200-$300 new.
