What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Hmm interesting. I don't remember what my install manual says. I'll have to look again.

 

Apparently, this is an issue on Tundras too.

 

Same joint design.

Also @Blackdawg I did the FPR research for you. Magnuson says boost refrence it in their manual and TRD says not to. Haha now that's some confusing input. I still don't see how it could be bad to have it referenced but evidently someone thought it would affect emissions or some such nonsense.

 

I think those bright gold wheels are the real issue here....

 

Actually those are copper

 

They look like a slightly metallic butterscotch to me, but hey, to each their own.

 

Yes thanks now I can make some memes for TW lmao

 

Gotcha covered.

 

Lets get them checked and see what the fuck is going on.

 

You can likely add @Squeaky Penguin to this chain of people who are replacing them prematurely, he has an estimated 30K and has play as well

 

These are OEM lbj's right?

 

Yes

 

Shit. Maybe I did good on getting 555 LBJs

 

Dam I thought my ball joints were 2 year ago. By my oil change records January of last year would put them at around 9k miles. There's at least an 1/8" of movement in the joint.

 

What is going on with these?

 

Swapped out my rear axle shafts to 4340 chromoly to replace a bent passenger side shaft and some jacked up seals.

 

same exact design. Same spindle even. No suprsied.

lol wtf. I'll have to check mine. Im going to take my blower off again to re seal the bypass valve.

well at least you can replace yours under warranty then.

 

What did the new shafts cost you? Did they come with wheel bearings and seals?

 

Ever had those days at work where you been there from 4:30p to 10:00am. and you think to yourself why your doing this?
I hate it when my coworkers call in "sick" but hey more money for the truck right?
