Am I crazy or is there something off in this photo?

So I did a 3rd gen Tacoma front suspension setup with UCA last week and wondered if the LCA and the other suspension components were supposed to look like that. Please let me know, thanks.

 

You may need some SPC upper control.arms...your CV angle should be a bit more closer to flat I feel...

 

It looks like 2WD

 

unfortunately you are right

 

Is that really how the sway bar connects? It seems much less solidly attached than the ends on 4WD 5th gen 4R.

 

Also looks to have a lot of cam angle on the cam bolts on the lower control arm.

 

Yeah I haven't gotten my car to the alignment shop yet but that's probably what is throwing it off.

 

Yes it's expected. Most people who install 3rd gen Tacoma shocks report some lift, 1"-2". Once you get an alignment, expect a more controlled ride with less dive when braking.

Do you know your steering rack is leaking?

 

Yeah it has been a somewhat an issue for me but just recently took it out to Pismo and back from LA and the steering has not been an issue and the steering fluid level has not changed the last time I checked it.

Why can't it be both?

 

going to get an alignment this week so we will see if it fixes anything

 

I'm not super familiar with 2Runners, but the angle of the LCA and UCA look pretty extreme.

How much did it lift the vehicle?

Do you have any down travel left?
