Once everything is bolted down, nothing moves. But it does seem odd that the tolerance was so large.

I've cross referenced part numbers and my shocks are the correct ones for the 2010+ 4Runner/FJ, not the prior model with smaller bushings. That said, maybe Eibach just says screw it and still uses the smaller bushing on 2010+ vehicles with the larger lower mount? I kind of doubt that because the shock bodies have a different part numbers.. why would they do that?

EDIT: Upon further digging.. it looks like that's exactly what they did. Hmm, I'm not sure how to feel about this. Eibach uses the bushing from pre-2010 Toyotas in their shocks for both pre-2010 Toyotas as well as 2010+ Toyotas. They say it's fine, obviously.. but is it?

So now I guess I have to decide if I need to source my own spacers/washers and add them, or trust Eibach and go with it. Many many people have these installed on their 2010+ Toyotas and seem happy with them.. so I really don't know what to do.

Pretty eye opening, none-the-less, not that I'm surprised.
