    You're welcome!


    No. They have the same odd shoulder on the bolt, but I don't think anyone has a noise issue there. I did need to replace mine after using the BFH method when installing the 5125s. I fixed the situation with some help and got new fasteners since mine were boogered up.

    So they do have the same issue? Im mainly trying to save the life of the king bearings if possible. I am assuming that is a different sized bolt though.

    Ah! If you have Kings or similar, I would jump on that. The bearings are not taking the same stress load as the coilovers, but there might be a possibility of damage long term?

    Yes. Different diameter and length. They're linked in the post that you quoted.

    I'm done, for realz now. Finally got the sliders welded up and mounted today. They were in my garage since friggin' November 1st. :ballchain:

    If anyone has a need for small welding projects, I know a good guy in Tumwater.

    There's a couple thin spots in the top coat, but I can attack that later.

    The overspray on the pinch weld is derp from the flares. :D

    Following as I have a click/clunk coming from my front end too. I thought it was the cam tab bolts so I torqued them up to 110 or 120 lbs and that seemed to help but the sound still comes and goes. I think it’s the LCA coilover bolt now. I have Elka shocks with a spherical bearings and would like to extend the life of them for as long as possible

    The spherical bearings are definitely more sensitive to this stupidity from Toyota. But also consider that it could also be the front body mounts? The bolts and body mounts are pretty cheap to try.
