It's going well, how about you? For now I need control arm bushings changed and maybe ball joints. In general, I am looking for a place other than the dealership, many to save money.

if you haven't found anyone yet my neighbor is a ASE certified Master Mechanic who is very good for about half of the cost of most shops. He stays backed up because he works alone so he isn't great about emergency drop off's but if you can schedule with him there is no one better in tucson in my opinion. He is located near Ina/Thornydale. if you want his info shoot me a pm.

Sorry Will, didn't see your response until Sam posted. I use the same person he's talking about. He does amazing work and is extremely knowledgeable about 4runners. He's prices are lower then anything you'll find and he can even get you a small discount at a few shops around town.

Thanks for the replies guys! I ended up needing the upper and lower ball joints replaced. I let a local shop here in Oro Valley do the uppers, and had the dealer replace the lower control arms, but they couldn't get the alignment done. The adjustable uppers confused them I think. I ended up taking it into Trail Boss at Ina and Thornydale, and they were were able to get it much better aligned than the dealer could.
I am interested in the guy you two use for future work.
