    How the fuck do they get one side right then not be able to do the same shit on the other side? How did they do an alignment properly with a bushing laying on the skid plate? Bullshit on top of bullshit. Multitech FAIL! This is exactly the stupid shit that kills me about paying 80 an hr for some lame ass non-attentive unskilled apprentice person more concerned with partying this wknd and scoring pu$$y than they are doing their job worth a shit, half assin my vehicle breaking all the wiring harnesses rather than unhooking them, leaving out bolts, and shit not even tightened - like the harmonic balancer crank bolt for instance. Let them know how lame this is, AFTER they correct it. Heaven forbid there is any reason for me to have to use my bumper to bumper warranty for anything on the 08 I just got. My 05 was hacked up from drivetrain warranty repairs - all work was at Toyota dealership.

    That's like a lady I know whose wheel fell off with 5 miles of leaving the tire dealers place. The dealership swore up and down they installed all the nuts properly.

    "Well come with me right up the road and I will show you the tire laying in the ditch."

    :D

    Finally got the truck back, I am for sure going to bust out the torque wrench this weekend. This doesn't look right there seems to be too much space, or this bushing is shot.

    If that bushing is all mangled, its only because they over torqued the bolt! Not a good thing. I wuld definitely make them replace the mangled one too

    There good! That is how mine look! You need that bit of space for grease packing! At least you got it back in one piece!

    Yeah, I need to take mine apart and jam a bunch of grease in there. Every bump I hit it sounds like; and I quote Mr.fourby2, "little monkeys being raped".

    Yeah that's the bushing above that I thought was mangled, seems to look okay but I still have a clunk from that side, I'm wondering if the inner sleeve is even in there, I'm going to look tonight.

    Okay, maybe I'll just make sure it's torqued right....it just seems to make a thumping sound on small bumps. No sound from the drivers side.
