Thanks. Just take the Low Line rd bypass next time you come up.

 

Hey guys,
I just lifted my 3rd gen a few weeks ago and need to get an alignment done. Anyone know of any reputable shops in the Howard County area that can do the alignment with JBA UCAs?
I also have some vibration issues I need to address that occur around 20-25 mph and at no other speeds. I need to measure my drive line angles. Reading up on it seemed to be a little confusing and was wondering if anyone is available to possibly help me to the measurements to figure out what degree shim I need for my leaf pack. I have installed a carrier bearing drop that was included in my kit. Should I install the shim before doing the alignment or can I address it afterwards?

 

See @68dave Dave, if Mason does it then you can plan on it being a normal experience at least.

Me on the other hand.............really really different.

Jeez how can you not bust out laughing?

 

I'm off tomorrow for like 4 doctors appointments and have to take trash to the dump (making up for the last two months without a truck) so how about I have no less than 4 mixed drinks in your honor instead!?

 

I don’t know if i want to do that again, even with my clappedout T4R

 

I think its just a strange time in society. Good for the people that can open up and be what they want to be, but very awkward and confusing for everybody

 

Oh, wow then, I might have to be a spectator for this.....

 

Stand by we are in the middle of a silly session. You have come to the right place though, many Toyota engineers onsite. Just not me!

 

You are 3/4 of the way there , go for the full sixer! You may need it tomorrow. Does one of these appts involve rubber gloves and Vaseline?

 

I wish I could help. There are others though that are more skilled than me at this or even answering your questions.

I do remember though during my research in preparation of installing my lift that some guys experience the vibes at slow speeds, during exceleration and others experience them at higher speeds during deceleration. Each case has a different meaning and requires a different fix I believe.

You are on the right track though wanting to measure your drive line. How high did you lift the truck overall? There are Youtube vids out there that explain how to do that so that even a dumb ass like myself could understand.

The fact that your truck is new you can sort of rule out the drivers side axle bearing to bushing mod to fix it. It would be a good preventive measure but your issue sounds more like the need for shims, to me at least.

 

The bypass roads are less muddy.

 

I wish! That would be a highlight!

 

Very well and politely stated. I may have worded it differently. Hillbilly and well educated, Awesome

 

What do y'all consider less muddy up there? 6" instead of 12" deep? Remember your shoulder before you answer!

 

You lead the way lol. You can meet me at the gas station in pawpaw next time

 

Ohhh c'monnnn its just a dirt road with some mud puddles

 

I know, hes scared of a little mud and some bumps. Personally I think it's a fun road, muddy and runs along the river. Just gotta slow down when you see the "Slow Down Dangerous Armed Rednecks Ahead" sign because they will shoot.

 

Remember what you looked like when you washed your frame the last time? Think about that again.
