ECGS Bushing with Bilstein 5100's

Good day everyone one;

I'm considering installing Bilstein 5100's on my 18'sport and I see issues with the needle bearing and some are having it replaced with the ECGS Bushing? Is this still an issue with the 18' models? Is this recommended if I move forward with my plan?

Thanks

 

Hit or miss, me I just did it at the same time of the lift so it would never become an issue.

 

It’s the same needle bearing Toyota has had since 2005 to now. It’s a good thing to change to the solid ecgs bushing if you have your suspension out already.

If you do it yourself, watch the videos, they really help.
