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

I think you'll be good. Give it your best eyeball adjustments and maybe bust out the tape measure and you'll be okay

 

As long as you're close and everything's tight, it'll drive. A friend drove a few thousand miles on his eyeballed home alignment before getting it corrected. His tires wore poorly and his ride/handling were less than ideal, but it didn't fall off the road.

 

Wow! Count your blessings and go buy a lotto ticket.

edit: And use loctite next time.

 

No doubt. I'll be adding a paint marks too.

Went for a drive to bed in the brakes and it drove nice and straight no more darting or weird pulling. The new brakes grab good too.

 

So much for the TC LBJ "solution". Glad you caught it in time. Were those the bolts TC shipped with their LBJs?

 

I can't get behind how these are a solution to ball pulling out of the socket and bolt issues. Fixing negligence is the solution. Proper torque for hardware and inspecting for play at every oil change are the solutions and the best part, they're FREE!

 

I probably purchased one of the first TC Uniball LBJs available and I have had no problems with mine. Of course, I used locktite on the bolts, and I check them and clean them when I change the oil. Still one of the better mods I have done on the truck.

 

Yes they were. It's possible that I forgot to put locktighte on them. The drives side was nice and tight still.

 

Ha one of my(many) LBJ issues I had similar handling. Although mine was the stud had worked loose in the Solo LCAs and was flopping around in there.

Good catch.

Almost got to be part of the club though!

 

I used ARB studs with red lock tight, along with thread marker.
They are holding up after running the White Rim trail and the southern half of the NMBDR.

 

part number? eBay?

 

You may have mentioned somewhere, what are specs- brand, model, etc, on new brake rotors, I assume new pads?

I’ve had brake pull issue for a while, also have Amazon Brembo rotors and Akebeno pads, replaced both calipers.

Hate throwing parts at it, but seems like it could only be a handful of things

 

Man I want no part of that club!

So I have 13wl. Brakes. I had the Brembo andakebeno pads
The new ones are power stop with there cermeric pads.

I went into it thinking I might have had a sticky caliper. But the wear was really even. My pads sat below the rotors edge.
Anyways when I was giving everything a once over is then I saw the loose lbj.
