    Just wondering if I did something wrong for the hyme joints to fail on my rear trailing arms installed new parts had a alignment done got about 20000 miles out of them just installed a new kit don't want to keep doing this I have a 3" lift on the 4runner that was the reason I put the adjustable ones on instead of OEM parts?

    Heims in the rear? Why?

    3" is way too much lift for an IFS vehicle.

    I imagine you have a ton of pull (rear axle is a solid axle, you don't align it) on account of to your rear panhard bar being at a 45 degree angle.

    Use stock rear lower control arms, lower your lift, and drop the mount on your panhard bar.

    You have too much going on which all attribute to your issues.
