we always bring the work vans to the same place. i always tell them "look over it hard, this being a company van, it's getting ridden hard, put away wet, and won't be back for anything until the next oil change or flat tire."
and then a week later we're back for a leaky shock, or a banging sway bar link...

Yeah it just makes the thing hurt more cause of the false sense of security. I'm thinking finally we are 100% and then there's something that was overlooked so another week of planning your return to the shop.
It all started like this...
I went to get an alignment done cause my ABS and TCS lights were on and got told that the front control rods are bent and need replacing so they can't do it and that was the culprit of the lights. Take it to my friend in the body shop said they can do it cheaper than the dealer but recommend this one suspension shop that can repair it without having to buy new rods. And viola. Good as new. I go home thinking all is well but then hear the problem in the thread. Dealer says strut is indeed bad and could be replaced there for your typical dealership mark up price. But it's take 4 hours or so. AT LEAST the dealer didn't mention anything about my front control rods being bent during the diagnosis. So I can hopefully rest knowing that is no longer an issue but man things just snowball.
Each separate week seems to dedicated to a problem and I know it's not that things are just falling apart cause 1. It's a toyota and 2. It's only 30k miles old with only 1 previous owner. just things that are being overlooked...and rediscovered.
