Bilstein 5100 and UCA issues

[CoastieRon]

There are some bolts that should be torqued every time, and other that someone with impact gun experience can judge about how tight they need to be. Most of the suspension bolts are of the latter type. There's only 7 bolts on each side to remove and replace the coilovers, so it shouldn't take long to torque them to factory specs. The lug nuts are roughly 50% of the fasteners that need to be removed, and those should always be torqued properly.

I'll just have to take it somewhere else...I'm only nervous because I have the family in the car sometimes and don't want my truck breaking down anyway, or worse...

Bro, I bought from Ourisman Chantilly, but I took mine to Koons Toyota as they had an opening in their service that day...needless to say I should've just taken mine to High Tech right from the beginning lol.

Ourisman is pretty good, take mine there and use to take FJ there without issue. Ask for Kevin in service if you go back, the right service advisor makes a huge difference. Leesburg Toyota sucks Btw, gave them a shot with my first service and I honestly think they didn't do anything but over inflate my tires (44psi). To make it worse they inflated the tires on my fiancés Camry to the same pressure and the max psi for those tires is 40psi.

Did you put the bilstein's on yourself? Sales wise Ourisman Chantilly treated me the best (I definitely had to put some work on in my end though lol).

What about other services? Or do you just take it there for everything? Nice ride btw!

Yeah installed them myself then took it there for the alignment and to have my new rims and tires mounted. They quoted me $220 which wasn't bad cause they had to break down the old ones to get the tire sensors out. When I got the bill it was only $150 which was a pleasant surprise and they also gave me a loaner for the day. I take it there for services mostly and if there is any warranty work.

Compare the where your spring sits vs mine.

Have you had any issues with alignment on the factory UCA withe the 2.5 setting? Any issues with getting the caster back to spec?
