Good video. I did like that the brake line magically gets itself out of the control arm when it was installed incorrectly. Its nice to see we all make mistakes. :)

[@lonesomecricket7721]

The brake line needs to be on the outside of the UCA when reinstalling. I noticed that you made the mistake but just edited it out. At 16:40 That would have been a great time to explain that to viewers.

[@sleepyasfuk101]

At 12:37 the orientation of the ball joint assembly appears to be flipped. Looking at the SPC instructions, Figure 1, it shows the SPC logo orientation facing outward towards the tire

[@faewaka489]

This is true at least for 2nd gen, that fucked me up

[@user-tt4cq6ju9n]

Installed on my 1st gen. Logo faces out.

[@ayodiezel]

Came here to say this as well… they didn’t even bother to comment and correcting 👎

[@chaoticgood3935]

Mechanics who wear watches while they wrench are crazy! Very good tutorial - I had to brush up my skills for tomorrow’s install.

[@s2000pill]

also, youre suppposed to trash the oem bushing washer and use the SPC off set washer. maybe it's revised but mine has new offset washers.

[@effinhaoli808]

Do yourself a big favor and buy new bolts from Toyota and cut the old ones
Reinstalled backwards they go in without bending fender🤙🏽

[@jakemacri]

But if they come loose will fall out in that direction since they are tilted down

[@toku58]

Is there a reason you installed the ball joint backwards? The SPC logo should be facing outward.

[@KingHaywood85]

The ball joint is adjustable to set camber and caster. Where you set the logo on the ball joint sets your caster angle

[@toku58]

No one is saying that they are Not adjustable.
She is setting them up backwards!!
Please go and read the instructions it clearly states logo out!!! She have them logo in.

[@evoemperor3776]

Toyota really has a habit on making the suspension components hard to service on some models.

[@defectahz6399]

You installed the ball joint incorrectly

[@patrickgambsky6290]

Just asking why would you use a Apple watch to do mechanic work 🤔

[@71tattooguy]

Great video just got these installed. What a difference. Imo a must to get a great alignment. Super stoked on my set up.

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Glad to hear you're happy with them, Dino! An alignment is absolutely needed after installation of these guys to make sure all of your angles are within spec. -Zach

[@roach182008]

They didn't show the passenger side lol. That one is even harder to do

[@Daniel09King]

What 600 for a 2 pieces of metal 🤣😂😅

[@H20Spy]

I'd be PISSED if my fender was bent with pliers like that @ 8:46! - IT'S NOT NECESSARY.
Other videos here on UA-cam show them getting that bolt out without bush league bending. Cmon!

[@roach182008]

Idk I havnt found any videos like that. All if them have them bending the fender or editing it out

[@hunterhowell4853]

Link to a video of someone getting them out without cutting the bolt or bending the body. that small amount of bending does nothing bad.

[@itunda5607]

Yea right you literally either have to cut the bolt or bend the fender to get the bolt out lmao

[@Travenport]

It’s a pinch weld dude, chill

[@MoY206]

Damn I need a lot of different tools to replace these expensive ass UCAs lol.

[@CLS55-Fonz]

Am I the only one that thinks it's fkin stupid u need to bend part of the body to get the bolt out or?

[@ericbuchta9765]

LoL overpriced aftermarket junk. Y’all Robin people of their money.

[@AimForTheBushes908]

It's for a Tacoma, it's all overpriced.

[@ericbuchta9765]

OEM parts for instance.
Gmc 2500 3/4 ton brake pads and rotors on a brand new truck are very good.
To get something after Markit at or above the quality you would need to probably buy Brembo breaks. Witch cost like 5 thousand dollars.
Just some stuff is like that, not all stuff.
Things like wheel bearings. They will last 150,000 miles then when you buy a aftermarket hub bearing it lasts 15,000 miles.
I’m just trying to keep people from buying junk so the scumbag people selling the cheep parts go out of business.

[@ericbuchta9765]

Lol I see.
That’s hilarious.
Autozone ball joint lol

[@yezkaholic]

You're paying for the "engineering" some one had to design it and patented it
