Tundra recall-lower ball joints

Randy Kalal 5 November 2005 07:17:13
 Anyone know exactly what the problem is with the existing ball joints? Do
they need to perform a front end alignment after the job?

I had mine done a week or so ago on a 2002 Tundra with 96,000 miles. Took
about 3 hours. Some of the joints were installed that had scratches on them
during the manufacturing process. The scratches sometimes cause the joint
to wear out sooner than expected. The service manager says he cannot tell a
good one from a bad one when they are removed, and said that maybe none that
they had removed were really bad. They checked the alignment after
installation on mine, but did not have to align. The steering felt a little
tighter after installation is about the only difference I can feel. See
http://www.automoti­ve.com/used-cars/rec­alls/11/toyota/tundr­a/ for more
details. There were no charges for the recall.

 What years are the Tundras covered for this?

I believe 2002-4. You should have received a letter on the recall. Or you
can stop by your friendly Toyota dealer and they can tell you if yours is
affected. Or call TOYOTA at 1-800-331-4331 and have your VIN handy.

Thanks. I gave them a call and found my 2000 Tundra isn't part of the
ball joint recall but does have a recall for the trailer wiring
harness.

 My daughter has an '02 PreRunner that just went through the lower ball joint
recall. They "said" they put the truck on the alignment rack, but by looking
at the parts, I think this is not necessary. I don't know if they really did
align anything, but they told me the brakes were about worn out, I checked
and they have in excess of half of the remaining life based on measuring the
pad material.

If they are riveted pads, looks can be deceiving - you have to
change riveted pads while apparently leaving about 1/16" to 3/32" of
good lining, because that's where the heads of the rivets poke up
above the surface of the pads. When the clearance between the rivet
head and the rotor face reaches zero, you waited too long.

If they are bonded brake pads (the friction material is literally
glued onto the backing plate) and really are nowhere near being worn
out, the shop employees might have been surfing for a quick and easy
add-on sale - some people will do whatever the Tech says without
getting a second opinion or checking it out themselves.

(Or they do follow the tech under the car and "check" what the tech
is pointing towards, and nod and mumble at the appropriate times, but
they haven't got a freakin' clue what they're looking at.) ;-)­

Shop owners and managers have been known to reward technicians and
advisors that bring in extra income, and fire those who don't. Big
chain stores with computerized work orders can track those sales to
the penny. (coughSearscoughFir­estonecough...) It's up to you to
decide whether it was a proper suggestion or a money grab.
