I had a pair of Fabtech basic coilovers (non-Fox Shocks) installed about 2 years ago, at 22,500 miles, along with purchasing a set of BFG A/T's (285's) on my 03' SR5 AC 4x4 at 4 Wheel Parts in San Marcos, CA.
I knew going in that there was a risk factor with respect to the inner CV's possibly leaking. Well, 7500 miles later, they did, as I noticed a nice spray of CV grease on the underside of my truck. And the truck had a tendency to veer to the right, alignment?? Off to 4 Wheel Parts, where they shrugged and said it would cost me $650 to $700 to install new boots, if in fact that was the problem, and BTW, we warned you about the alignment
. So, I figured I would go to the stealership in Carlsbad and get their opinion. They suggested new boots also, which I opted for to the tune of, you guessed it, $678.00 OTD, along with another $84.95 for an alignment.
At 33,000 miles the truck again started to pull to the right
, so I took it in to get a full service, and another $80+ alignment.
Now at 45,000 miles, the pass side front tire has worn on the outside noticeably, the pull to the right is now more of a yank, and when I apply the brakes hard, there is a "clunk" from the right side suspension. :devil:
First question: should I scrap the Fagtech's and get something more quality (I know, I know, you get what you pay for, but I think the installers might have screwed with me)????????
Second question: with the above details, where should I take my truck for repair, and what could/should be done?????
Thanks, John
