    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    That's how I ran em, they're lock nuts with lock washers, they ain't going nowheres. They accepted grease better and never made a sound after I loosened em. Take all the pressure off first then torque.

    So you went with the Denso from Rock Auto? I've been thinking about getting the LCE set but it's interesting that they ask for cores back.

    SOS

    Have you seen anything like this? This new control arm ball joint assembly seems flipped but I'm wondering if it's to make up for the extra height of the adjustable ball joint. The ball joint doesn't fit in the opposite direction and the whole thing is too big to press in with a BJ press. The instructions seem to imply that I'm correct but I'm fucking confused

    I'm pretty sure that's one of those offset ball joints that you can buy if your vehicle won't align for some reason. Probably part of the Moog helpline or something

    Right. Does the new CA orientation look correct?

    if it's too big I know movie also makes them oversized for people that have wallowed out their control arms. It might be worth checking if it mentions that

    The move won't happen for about a year, but it's encouraging to know how easily I can find a nice, affordable place.

    NAPA has been coming in for the save. Needed to grab an AC tensioner pully for the taco and they had it in stock.
