Any info appreciated

I did read this write up I found it right before I ordered my part the guy was very thorough with the ride up it was great said he used a U-joint kit from an ATV. I did not have the patience for this so I went ahead and order the part.

 

I’d feel more confident in a new Toyota part Anyways. You could always rebuild the old one and keep it around as a spare lol or sale it to someone on here that’s looking to save some cash.

 

So basically I just parked on a flat spot in the yard and scrap my steering wheel in place. After that it was simply pull out the old shaft and pu t the new one in. Difficulty level 2. Pay attention to the paint marks before removing the old shaft and put the new one back in the the same way.

 

Also put the black bumper on today.

 

I just replaced mine, my steering became very stiff, got one on Amazon or eBay for around 70 dollars, Oem is around 170, I was surprised how beefy the replacement was.

 

So, I thought that my sway bar end links were at a terrible angle. I decided on these hiem joint end links because they are adjustable and durable construction. I installed them per the manufacturer diagram and it ga ve me this angle. I was getting alot of noise from the new end links. I decided to switch the spacers putting the spindle side onto the sway bar side. This gave me a more agreeable angle.

 

Saw those on eBay

 

I’m thinking of picking these up too, how do you guys like it? Any issues? They really look good and based on what everyone says here it makes a big difference from oem.

on a 3 inch lift for a while and I can see some rubbing on my oem uca to the springs. From what I’ve read on Tacoma world it makes a big difference on clearing it.

 

Mine rides a lot better and it feels a lot more solid less noise I like them so far my tires are not wearing oddly overall probably pretty good for the money not as nice as some of the adjustable ones that I looked at that were around twice as much

 

Yeah I was thinking of doing some pro comp ones or even Dobinsons. But it’s around $600 if I were thinking of doing that much, I might as well spend a little more on icons or other high name brands. But I’m glad I saw these online. My oem ones do make a lot of noise too.
