    All,
    I need some help. I am new to the whole Taco nation. I bought a 2010 Taco a little over a year ago. I had it lifted "professionally" with a Fabtech lift. The first time I took it off road I snapped my driver side Tie Rod just by comming of the ground a little bit at the top of a hill I had the Tie Rod replaced. I then stored my Taco for 7 months while deployed. When I was deployed I was told by storage that my truck was leaking fluid, I had a friend take it in to the same place that did my lift and they replaced the seals around the driver side axle. After driving my truck for a week being home I noticed that there was a grinding and rubbing side on the driver side. thought it might be the ball joints took it in to a highly recommended shop, that was when I was told that when my truck was lifted it put stress on my axle and everything on the left side. When I got it lifted I didnt know that you should put adjustable A arms on as well. Were they supposed to put spacers on the axle or anything to compensate for the lift? I need recommendations. Are Taco's known for this or was the job done wrong? I have ordered some adjustable arms and will put them in when they get here so I can get my allignment done, but am I missing anything else?

    sounds like you snapped more than a tie rod.have to see where the oil is coming from to be sure of whats going on here.
