    I’d love mine even more if I didn’t have to deal with yearly inspections. Shit to fix/replace at the wrong time.

    yea and to make matter worse I ordered the parts while my wife’s Highlander was in for the service package it came from. The kid only ordered one of my away bar bushings. He tried to explain he only ordered one because it only has one part number and I had to explain that yes, however, there are two of them. Smh

    I used a tie rod puller. It pulled the tie rod well, but also bent it. More than likely was user error.

    Occ valve?

    Move to a free state. No inspections here. And almost no road salt. Win win.

    Oh, and no state income tax.

    it did not give me any sign. It downshifted coming off the highway and the internals made loud banging and metal grinding noises

    They have them where you are as well, just every couple of years and you don’t have to worry about working in cold weather dealing with rusted parts.

    Question about extended sway bar end links.can they be run with less than 1.5” of lift? I need new links and have bilsteins at 2nd notch on worn out springs. Planning on new coil overs at some point but will the suspension maxx links be fine at less than 1.5” of lift for awhile?

    End links! That’s what’s been causing my clinking in the wheel test! How did I forget? Need to cut that bad link out and see about tightening up the other one. Maybe it’ll get me through inspection? Dunno. Worth a shot.

    Thanks for getting me to remember, @KTM_AJ421.

    My CEL was a cracked hose. Happy to get out of that one with an easy fix.
