    I just had my coilovers raised a bit to get my truck closer to level after installing Dakar leaf packs in the rear. My normal alignment shop lost their tech so I took it to the oldest shop in town, known as "the place" for alignments. They come back and say they can't align it because my LCA bushings are frozen so I need to go to toyota, but the bushings, bolts, nuts and washers them bring it back. Labor alone is estimated at $400. My question is, is this common and does that sound right for labor?

    Well I posted before searching, seems a common issue. Now I guess i need to figure out what parts to replace them with then go back for an alignment! I don't tho k my Toyota mechanic buddy will charge me $400 labor though...

    Not 100% sure on labor price but that quote might not be far off , when those cams seize up they can/are a major pain in the ass to R&R, my pass. side was seized in the LCA & I shit you not it was almost 2 days of prying/drilling/cutting/etc; to get that fucker out....not fun at all...
