What my luck

not being ghosted just have really bad service where I’m at right now. All this

Thanks for the reply.

Cool never knew that … definitely keeping it I was just freaking out cause I’m on vacation and my brother had FaceTime me showing me what happen. I’ll post pictures once I fix it

 

thanks. The truck decent body wise it has dents here and there nothing big but engine running strong. Bought it a week ago for 4,500$ and what my luck this happens when I’m on vacation. I just bought the parts to fix and I have a family mechanic that doesn’t charge me a lot so I’m kinda lucky there.

 

Im new to this … how can I do that ? Just order all the parts . Going fix it

 

still here just have bad service where I’m at right now.

 

Goto your first post, top right corner. Click on thread tools, then edit title

 

You good? You've quoted me like 3 times now

 

no, this is where you can impress upon her the importance of vehicle maintenance beyond adding gas and oil changes. if you only bought it a week ago, it's clear that the previous owner didn't maintain it to a very good standard.

likely a better idea to do both sides, as the other one can't be all that far behind.

i'd also suggest having your mechanic buddy look over the rest of the truck to figure out what else it's going to need, and start making a game plan to attack it sooner rather than later.

if you don't have a receipt from the previous owner, assume it was never done!

 

Then at highway speeds your not making hard turns either .

Turning I could also see the vehicle flex putting far more weight on that ball joint when turning.

 

Im good just my service is really bad so must have sent it like 3 times

I’m doing both sides already and my mechanic doing a full inspection……. To see what else I’ll have to replace . Trying get everything replace and have it running A1 .

 

Hi does anyone know where I could order this part online … mechanic cant find it locally…. Or the name so I could look it up on eBay.

 

it''ll buff out

 

??

 

There are a bunch of parts there. Spindle, bushings, brakes, bearing.... what is he specifically asking for.? Or is looking for the whole assembly?
BTW, wtf did you hit? A curb, sending it off road. Normally that entire arm doesn't go bad all at once.

 

Clearly done zero maintenance checks for a long time. This is what happens to neglected vehicles. Live and learn. Glad she didn't injure herself or any innocent bystanders.

 

You would need to press out the axle hub, and once you do that, you won't want to re-use the bearings.

So really it's best to just find a use spindle (that large part) with axle hub, bearings, etc already in place and move over your brake dust shield.

You'll want one from a vehicle with 4x4 ADD so either 1995.5 - 2004 Tacoma or 1996 - 2002 4Runner.

 

I wasn’t driving it when it happen. It was my mom …. She was going full send over a speed bump and just heard a loud noise kept flooring the gas which made it worse. When she saw that the truck wasn’t going that’s when she got out to check what happen ‍♂️ …. His looking for the full assembly …. Mmm should I get it new one or just rebuild the hole spindle ? I’m new to all this so don’t have much knowledge

 

yes, the person that I bought it from just had it sitting in his back yard for over a year.

 

Likely the spindle is ok, just get. The bearing, ball joint and all related bushings. That's what is needed. Others have more experience with this than me and I an sure they will chime in.

 

Moral of the story is always make sure a vehicle is road worthy before taking potholes and speed bumps at WOT lol

Shit is dangerous af for everyone involved

 

It's not, he needs a spindle.

It's bent up top where the upper ball joint goes.
