CV Boot Issue

SDjefe13 · 2024-07-17T03:19:33+00:00

Just curious if anyone else has noticed or heard of this issue. I got my TRD Off-Road on June 1st. I went to my suspension shop on 6/14 to get the Westcott pre-load collar installed. My mechanic called me back to his shop 30 mins later to show me that the passenger side CV Boot had failed and the truck was flinging grease everywhere. I took it to my closest dealer here in San Diego and they agreed the boot had failed. They ordered the part and said it would be in within 2 days. The 2nd date push moved the ETA to 6/25, the 3rd date push was to 7/03, and the 4th date push moved the ETA to 7/15. As of today 7/16, the service department told me now Toyota has told them the CV Boot Kit would arrive sometime in December of 2024. Has anyone else heard of this issue coming up?

What up Taco Fam?,

Im looking to upgrade my suspension. I hear a lot of good things bout Kings and Fox which both seem to fit my needs. With that said, what would you recommend for the 4th gen taco? My current stock suspension does great and with the Westcott collar lift I couldn’t be more pleased. Overall performance, stance and handling has been nothing but amazing. I would highly recommend the stock suspension with a collar lift if you’re waiting to upgrade to a full new suspension lift. I hope everyone is enjoying their tacos! I know I am.
