    Is there any specs. On the bearing that I could confirm, diameter - thickness prior to bringing my Tacoma to shop to have ECGS bushing installed? I purchased the ECGS bearing and no receipt was in box.

    Sent you an email. Let me know if I did something wrong.

    Its possible I goofed the install, my bearing would not get anywhere near flush. Install Instructions dont really talk about, but its apparently very common. The second one went in a lot easier and I just stopped when It got harder. Almost 1/4” away from being flush like the oem needle bearing.

    ive got a pic of the bearing after I took it out, showing how the inside edge doesnt fit over the axle at all. Let me know if you want that.

    I found this work order dated before I bought the truck and when the dealer did the lift. Does anybody know why the dealer would change the needle bearings when they did the lift? The truck was brand new with 65 miles on it. What would they of changed them too?

    Edit: Perhaps they purchased the below when they bought the lift kit and sliders from Toytec. I would be very happy about that!! They wouldn’t have any other reason to change out brand new bearings would they?

    I bought the bushing when I bought my lift just so I had in case I needed it. My truck is fine right now but I do plan on replacing it anyway. Are the bushing install tool and removal tool that ECGS sells necessary for the install?

    you dont need to use theirs, but youll need something to remove and install.

    Do you need this in 2019 or 2020? Haven't noticed any failures in post 2018.

    as far as I know toyota did not change anything for these models. This is a preventative mod that isnt expensive and isnt all that challenging to perform. If you lift more than 1.5” in the front Id suggest doing it. I did it with 1.5” lift because this is cheap compared to the damage than can be done
