I received an out of office reply so I likely won't hear back until next week. Hopefully this is an odd condition with this one shock as the three others have no leaks. It was my choice to rebuild locally rather than dealing with sending the shock to Icon as requested, but that just seems...

Ha. Yep, definitely my wife's daily driver and less than 9k miles. Hazzard Fabworks said the shafts were not pitted.

I'm in Spokane. Took it to Hazzard Fabworx. Cost included removal, rebuild, and install. Cost seemed fair when compared to Icon's rebuild prices and general labor to remove and reinstall.

From my understanding it would be the manufacturing process. The tolerances were very tight - metal on metal? Supposedly all of the metal shavings were cleaned out during the rebuild so hopefully nothing happens for another 30k or so.

I did reach out to them when the shock first started leaking. I was told I had to send it to them for warranty work. That's not really feasible for me as it's my wife's daily driver and no shop will keep it on the rack while I send it back. I have also emailed them regarding the information I...

Found a great local shop to do the rebuild and got it done yesterday. They did say there was a lot of metal bits inside the shock and they wouldn't be surprised if it started leaking again within a year. This gets expensive when paying for uninstall, rebuild, and reinstall. I think if another...

I probably need it then. I'm having a hard time finding anyone willing to tackle it. This guy thinks he can but I'm not even confident he has nitrogen. I dropped the ball on that.

I got my parts kit in and I'm taking the rig to a shop tomorrow. I noticed in your link that you grabbed a nitrogen fill needle too. Do I need this for the rebuild? Icon didn't mention it to me. Thanks!

Perfect.

And yes, found a nice puddle of clean reddish oil on my garage floor. Went to my wife's work and the bottom side of the coilover and assembly is covered in oil.

Nice. I'm hoping I can find somewhere local to do it, otherwise I'm thinking I'll see if I can find someone to sell me one coilover to work into a rotation.

My wife drives a 2015 4runner. We purchased it February last year and immediately installed the Icon Stage 1 kit. From what I read, those coilovers have a one year warranty so I'm just past it. The 4runner has never been offroad and is driven by my wife. It has about 8k miles on it. Any...

I lost my specs from the shop but just called and got them. My caster is at +3 with no body mount rub. I mentioned my fender trimming above.

I'll try to find my alignment spec'd and post them.

What are your wheel and tire specs? Lifted? I just did the icon stage 1 kit set at about 2.5" with 285/70/17s on 17x9 et-6. Using stock UCAs I was able to get close to factory caster. It pushed the tires away from the body mount sufficiently. I did the liner mod and then had to trim the...
