FJ40 Alignment - Lokey 4x4 Any Good?

Nomis · 05-13-07, 11:33 PM

I'm going to be picking up a new set of tires soon and would like to get my rig aligned as well. Any one you recommend in Tampa? Any Toyota dealerships have tech's that are versed on these older rigs? How about Lokey? Thanks.

. . . although I guess I could give this a try, as it's only possible to set the toe in anyhow:

I'd be willing to lend a hand if you want to try it yourself.

I'm getting my 40 done at lokey they just got the alignment rack so they had to order some shims but a good place to go

Thanks for the reply guys. I may just let Lokey run with it as I want to get an opinion on the TRE's as well before I pick up a new set.

Blue Ox,
How'd the alignment go?

I found better results doing it myself then letting a shop touch it.

I agree with Al - sometimes you have to fine tune it due to differences in how some tires handle.

I've got two near new OEM Toyota tie rod ends for sale - one is right hand thread, the other left hand thread. I think both have 90 degree zerk fittings. About $40 new about Toyota discount. Two for $40.

I'll give it a try once I get the new tires on. I believe I saw a post on the DYI alignment somewhere on the board. . .

Thanks for the offer Sputnik, I'll let you know if I need them. If so I may just pick up the entire kit from $OR or the like.
