Hello all,
Longtime lurker, spent some time trying to find an answer to this question on here and somehow couldn’t get it. Here it is-
I lifted my 2006 GX470 about 2 years ago with a stage 2 Ironman 2” lift kit. Since then the wheel bearings have gone bad twice. I’m thinking (based on threads here) that it might be the CV axle that needs to be replaced due to the lift. Would a CVJ moderate lift axle allow for a better angle and stop my wheel bearings from going bad every year?
My fuel economy went from about 17-18 (directly after I went with the Ironman 2” lift and 33s) to about 10-12 now. I’m not sure if that is entirely due to this wheel bearing/cv axle issue or if there is something else going on? Thought I’d add that in, in case it helps diagnose these issues.
Sorry if this has already been answered or posted but have been have spent a lot of time trying to figure out what’s going on and would LOVE to find an answer from you good people
Thanks in advance!
