The links are just moving from movement of the suspension and bar relative to the frame where the links are attached to. That appears to be their happy position. Unless they're binding (making some big noises when articulated or over big droop or compression) then there's nothing to worry about...

1 is fine as long as it won't hit any other suspension components. The bar will move up and down with the side its connected to and you could end up in a situation where the connected side is at the bottom of its travel and the opposite side is heading towards the top. If there's clearance, then...

There are some front options out there. https://optoffroad.com/collections/tundra-1st-gen-2000-2006/products/quick-disconnect-sway-bar-links?variant=43967551668482

Great video on this subject that may be informative to some of you:

Replaced the seals on my diff actuator in combination with a drain and fill on the transfer case and mine locks and unlocks very quickly now.

Do you know what ride height setting, or settings, you were in when driving? And what wheel/tire combo was on the vehicle? Asking as someone that's very interested in adding a R1S to my fleet eventually.

Non-OEM, non-OBD-II cats tend to go bad a lot sooner. The 05-09 GX Doug Thorley headers have a CARB EO pending. The 03-04s have been certified. Magnaflow is now selling CARB OBD-II compliant cats, but you would have to contact them to figure out if you could get new compliant cats for the GX...

Adjusting for more caster through the UCA effectively moves the tire rearward, making your issue worse. With the SPC, you'd be adjusting for less caster for better clearance. It looks to me like you should start with the BMC and go from there. You can also go with offset bushings in your lower...

ChatGPT, that you?

The EIA has consistently underpredicted electrification uptake rates for the last decade or more. 5+ years ago they were saying we would be at less than 1% EV sales nationally. I think we're almost bumping up on 10% nationally right now. They haven't even factored in new zero emission vehicle...

The weight issue is likely short lived relative to conventional ICE counterparts. Look at the new BMW M3 Competion xDrive. The Tesla Model 3 Performance, which I would consider a vehicle of similar size and close in performance in some aspects, is only slightly heavier. BMW M3 xDrive Competion...

That’s actually incorrect. Mild hybrids tend to be 15kW of electrical assist or less and tend to utilize only 48V batteries and belt-alternator assist (BAS) or crank starter generator (CSG) assist. The 2.4L turbo hybrid in the new Land Cruiser falls into the (weaker side of) strong hybrid...

Do you have a source for that information? Everything I’ve read and analyzed in my personal and professional life says transportation CO2 emissions are the largest contributor with light duty emissions being a big part of the sector. CBO analysis shows transportation as the largest slice of the...

That’s also 2-cycle fuel economy and not the 5-cycle list on your EPA fuel economy (Monroney) label. Multiple by 0.7 to go translate (roughly) 2-cycle to 5-cycle.

They chose it because it’s cheaper and also potentially due to older volume purchase agreements with their Panasonic joint battery venture.
