How come it's backwards....

 

So one of our command staff thought it would be funny to fuck with the team of special investigators I'm with now, sends out a message to us that says a concerned suspect sent pics of an undercover op and he not sure what to think but to keep up the good work.....here's the photo he sent

 

Figured I'd check out the other side since I had all the tools out and everything.
Started turning bolts and stuff and before I knew it, everything had fallen apart.

 

Pro tip:
3/8 extention and an air chisel drifted the front cam sleeve out nicely.
To clean everything up, I stuck some copper fitting brushes in my drill. 1/2 for the rear 3/4 for the front. A little sand cloth cleans up the bolts and sleeve nicely too

 

Good use of plumbers tools.

 

What's the verdict on the uca ball joint?

 

Purty Eric. And yeah the dust cover is decent at keeping other crud out besides dust.

 

@thefatkid you might be pleased to know that I couldn't budge the jam nut on the drivers side tie rod without a torch either.
Fortunately, I was working with better tools than we were roadside.


How does that even happen? Do i need to tell the alignment guy to chill?

 

I would just like to take this moment to say

SCREW THE DRIVER SIDE UCA BOLT! !

that is all

Grounds for banning.... Sean, calling Sean????

 

Hence why I bought 2 new bolts from Toyota and cut out the old ones.

 

Holeeeeeeecrap that was a lot of work for one dickhead to do in one day

 

Definitely looks like some negative camber.

I'll try to do a half ass alignment tomorrow

 

See I don't get that unless something has changed between your year and '12.

The passenger side came out pretty easy with just a light bend on the inner fender. I did flip it around when I reinstalled it, but I could've put it back in the same way just as easily.

The driver side, on the other hand was a bitch. I think because of the battery box or something. I ended up putting a long jack handle down in there and whacking it with a mallet to get enough clearance to get the bolt out. When I tried to flip that one, however, it wasn't happening. There are 4? or so brake? lines plumbed right where the bolt would need to go to slide it in. I ended up putting that one back in the same way it came out.


I think I better start popping advil now. I'm going to be sore as hell tomorrow. I feel like I'm as old as gramps.

 

^^^ rest well young samari!

 

Hard to see with a flashlight but did you put a Dana 30 under there?

 

Yes, as far as you know.

 

Good to hear man, sorry I had to leave early. Glad to see it all buttoned back up. How did the anti seize on the other side go?
