This is my story and what happened to me post #1. It also links you to the replacement axle I bought READ HERE

Not sure if you have seen this build thread but I run a pretty much an identical setup to this guy. Read post #177 & #178 READ HERE

And this is exactly what happened to my axle in post #1 READ HERE

I'd order one sooner rather than later as theres usually a wait to get the replacement part from either Toyota or The Drive Shaft Shop.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the good read, im going to look how flat my axle is tomorrow.

*edit*
So I went out and looked since it was stuck in my head and it is on a big angle, I think. By any chance do you know if you axle is on a angle like this?

If you don't plan on doing any performance driving, a standard alignment with factory camber bolts should be sufficient.

I've gotten my Sportline spring. Before I have them installed I was told that I really NEED a camber kit for the front and rear otherwise my tires will be screwed.

Since front camber bolts are only $25, I'll probably get those to be on the safe side.

What about the rear camber? I've read that Rear Lower Control Arms are the way to go. Can anyone recommend a good Rear LCA that is less than $200?

Don't exist.

SPC has rear LCA for ~230 ish but don't give a whole lot of adjustment. Rear UCA are ideal for adjustment, but are considerably more expensive.

So what would be a good, cheaper alternative for adjusting rear camber? Since the Sportline springs give a 1.4" drop, I don't think I would need a huge adjustment, right?

EDIT: I've done more research. I see bushings are cheaper but are much harder to install. I think I'm gonna just go with a rear LCA and be done with it.
