What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I will likely order the flanged one... Looks stronger

 

Since we are on the topic here is the part number for the bolts straight from Camelback on here:

90080-10066

 

Just ordered both balljoints and 8 bolts for 200$ shipped from camelback

 

how fast were you going?

wow thats a way better price than I expected, might have to order some sooner than I thought

 

Fwiw, when I ordered new ball joints from the dealer, they came with new bolts too. All the same length.

 

What was the dealer price, around $110 each?

 

Hmm, thats good to know

 

$125.89 each.

 

List was $133.43

 

Thanks, I need to anty up and do this already.

 

I'm seeing em online for $81.42 and $89.52 for the L&R lowers... not including shipping

 

For those of you that have had your rear axle seal go bad. Did you always see a little drip of fluid on the drum (i.e. looking at the back of the wheel)? I did up until I made it home Sunday. Checked the fluid and added a little but haven't added any since. (Not that I'm going to not get it fixed, parts have been ordered, its more of being able to find somebody to press it in possibly.) Just curious

 

Order from camelback..200 otd for both plus 8 bolts

 

Jesus. Is that the typical failure mode? Shearing right the fuck off?!

 

Yup..scary

 

I replace mine every 100,000 miles like clock work come hell or high water,
150.00 worth of parts is nothing

 

I didnt have anything drip out of the drum...if that what you were saying. But the everything inside the drum was covered in oil

 

Oh ok gotcha, just thought it was odd that it was dripping and then just stopped. Hopefully parts will be here prior to Friday

 

Has anyone ever put rtv where the axle shaft bolts to the housing? Mine had that so idk if it's a bandaid or if it actually stops the fluid

 

If oil has gotten to there your seal has already failed as oil has gone through it and the bearing.
