    Hey guys, I’m not sure what to do here. I just bought this truck and when I took it in for an alignment, the shop pointed out a failed bushing on the front suspension mount. How big of a deal is this? I called Toytec for a replacement bushing and they told me the shock is out of production and no parts available. They offered 30% off a new shock. Do I need to replace the shocks because of a bad bushing? How can I figure out what size bushing I need to replace it myself if Toytec can’t tell me?

    With 30% off I could get a pair of equivalent shocks for $800.
    Alternatively I found these other unused Fox shocks for $800 but the seller doesn’t know what model Fox shocks they are.

    As I see it, my current options are:

    a. Figure out what size bushing I need and get a poly bushing somehow???
    b. Buy new shocks at a 30% discount.
    c. Buy a new open box unknown Fox shocks. Are they ride height adjustable? Seller says yes. Then I’ll have Toytec in the back and Fox up front.
    d. Replace all 4 shocks with some other alternative.

    I have 285/75/16 tires and SPC UCA if that makes any difference.

    Any help would be appreciated. What would you do?
