Hi Guys,
I thought I would share a recent experience I have had. This could have been very bad.
Before you ask I wont name and shame who did this, its not about that. Its about your safety.
I had a lot of extras put on my 2016 prior to delivery and one of these was BP-51 suspension, which is great.
Fast forward 10000km and i was fitting a transmission cooler to my car and i noticed the bolt in bottom of strut was hanging out.
I popped the rim to have a look and found this.
There was no nut put on the bolt on the other side either but it was still in place.
The car went back to Toyota for the 1000km service where the invoice said the checked and tightened all steering and suspension components!
At the 1000km service it also went to the 4wd place to have a ARB Canopy fitted that wasn't ready at delivery. So both parties had the opportunity to check it.
The car has since been repaired with a new bolt, LCA and strut bushing by the 4wd place.
So guys don't trust people you pay to work on your cars. They don't always do what they are paid to do.
