    John does know everything lol. Well at least what I ask him he seems to know haha. I hope the install goes well for you pugg. I hate when parts don't go in as smoothly lol.

    And after almost 2 weeks of my lift being on, I still have that clunk and it's driving me insane lol. I can't find this shit out. Going to the dealer for the third time today and hopfuly they can find whats wrong. I wanna go wheeling lol

    It did go away for a day and now it's back even louder. I'm at the Toyota
    Now to see if they can hear it and fix it. The bolts to the frame seem tight so i don't think it's that. Let's hope they can find it

    My last truck A GMC used to clunk after a FEA because the tech used hand tools to tighten control arms once I hit it with the air gun all noise was gone and didn't come back till next FEA

    Hey guys. Went to the toyota dealer for the third time. They test drove it. They checked all the bolts again. Everything and nothing was loose. I told them to use the air tools to tighten every little nut on my front end. They said thats all we can do and drove it home and thought it was fixed. 10 mins later its still fucking there lol. I'm like beyond pissed. I dont know what the hell is wrong but they cant see to fix it and I cant either. Anyone wanna meet up and try and help me???. Maybe I'm missing something that I need to look at, idk. Wc offroad said it was the lower control arm bushings when i first went to them and would be 700 to fix. I think there full of shit because. Toyota said it wasn't that and i even looked at them and they seem fine. So I'm out of luck and Idk what to do now.

    In a pinch, a pipe wrench will work as a spanner wrench for those coilovers :spy:

    Your patience amazes me. I wouldn't be able to wait more than a day if I had a set of Icons waiting to be installed :eek:

    Oh yeah, do you remember the size for the nut on top of the LR UCAs? I have to get a new socket, I don't have any big enough and I'm not going to use a knucle buster on that sucker!

    I don't remember . But did a quick search and found this

    LR UCA's require a 32mm socket or equivalent in standard for the top retaining nut for the ball joint.
    I had the 32mm already so wasn't getting the standard socket for it.

    :confused:
    What did you search for?? I found the install instructions, searched LC UCA and skimmed the threads, watched about 5 install videos on youtube, even tried searching through SPC's website and none of them mentioned the size of that damn nut. :mad:

    Apparently, I suck at searching... :eek: Thanks!
