Have you ever come back from an offroad trip with a wonky steering wheel and a truck that wants to pull hard right or left? It's very common to knock the alignment out when taking a Tacoma, 4Runner, or any other IFS Toyota offroad, and the entire alignment assembly on the stock IFS is somewhat...delicate. In this video I show you how to remedy that issue with a TACO TABS kit from Poly Performance, and I also show you how to ensure you don't flatten the alignment tabs if you do end up taking a hard hit on the trails.
I really recommend doing these mods simultaneously, as the result is significantly stronger than doing just one or the other.
I hope you enjoy the video, and make sure to subscribe if you want to see more build/adventure footage!

The Keystock is actually 5/16", NOT 3/16". Misspoke!

@anthonyambrose479 Год назад

It was obvious no worries

@loiselleryan 2 года назад

Great video!!! Keep them coming!

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Thanks dude!! Have a couple more videos in the works, hopefully I can get them out soon =]

In the 1st gens, first front end style. You can turn the steering to full lock and slide the rubber boots and remove the cam bolts. I have the energy suspension bushing on my steering rack and upper arms. If you jack under the lower /upper control arm mount lift up enoght to angle the cam bolt down just enough to slide out

@dinch_art 2 года назад

Loved it and gives me confidence to try it on my 00 Tacoma! Keep it up bro

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Thanks man! Glad the video helped you out!

@theoriginalmodz 2 года назад

Well done tutorial, I need to do this

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Thanks dude! I could imagine these helping you out for sure.

@jdsmaintenance 2 года назад

That's a fabulous idea, especially if you have SPC UCA's that have totally adjustable balljoints! I've knocked my alignment outta wack a fair amount of times on my '01 Tacoma :D

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Agreed! I didn’t mention it in the video, but you’re right that getting adjustable uppers is a viable way to regain alignment fine tuning.

@nh-play6018 2 года назад

Great video. Need to find this for a 17 taco for sure. Sick of spending the money on alignment.

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! I’d contact PolyPerformance but I wouldn’t be surprised if their kit for the 2nd gen fit the 3rd gen Taco as well.

@nh-play6018 2 года назад

@@S0nnenberg just found some for the third gen on the ole inter galactic web. A mod for me for the winter time as well.

@PolyPerformance 2 года назад

Great Video Seth!! Mind if we add this to our product page to help future customers with the install?

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

I don’t mind at all! Thanks for asking, and I’m looking forward to putting these things through their paces this year!

@RockymtnGX Год назад

do you recall what size wrench was required for the front bolt? it seems i have nothing that truly fits it.

@ramonmejias1727 2 года назад

HI Seth. great how to video. What is the exact size of the key stock. I purchased 3/16 and its way smaller than the one you showed in the video. Is yours 1/4, 5/16 or 3/8? just want to make sure i order the correct key stock size. again, great tutorial.

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

So sorry dude, I'm realizing I misspoke in the video. It's 5/16th key stock. I'll pin a comment to the top to hopefully patch my screw up. Sorry to mislead you!!

@soundbites1152 2 года назад

Not be pedantic, but you should torque the LCA bolts @ride height with the weight of the truck on the arms. Otherwise, the rubber bushings are going to tear a lot sooner. But, if you already have Whiteline bushings installed, this point is moot. At any rate, nice video.

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip!! Not pedantic at all, those little details are important.

@MC-jf6ic 11 месяцев назад

Did you have to adjust the toe after installing those mate? Was wondering if you can provide the width of the front and rear tabs. That would be much appreciated.

@S0nnenberg 11 месяцев назад

I unfortunately don’t have the truck anymore, but I did take the truck in after installing these to get the toe adjusted. I honestly remember it hardly changing though, and camber was perfect.

@gilberttorres8 Год назад

The lower control arms, are incharge of the camber correct?

@S0nnenberg Год назад

Camber and caster. Front tabs set the camber, rear tabs set the caster.

@tawaitai Год назад

Is the keystock part of the kit, or red you jerry-rigging your own application???

@S0nnenberg Год назад

The key stock is not part of the kit, but is a pretty common method of increasing the strength of these wimpy little bent tabs.

@Antilagmike 2 года назад

You mentioned your 2nd gen taco. Are you ever going to do a video of that truck? What lift is on there?

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

I actually have a bunch of videos of that truck on this account, they’re just all over 5 years old 😂. Definitely check them out if you’re interested! That truck has an icon CO lift, Dakar leaves in the rear, and DP UCA uppers. It’s since been downgraded back to daily driver status, on 31s. Love that truck, have never owned a more reliable vehicle.

@Antilagmike 2 года назад

@@S0nnenberg I just picked up a 2014 manual access cab v6, I'll check out those videos!

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Awesome!! Great buy, I’m sure you’ll love it.

@davidknox4451 2 года назад

When you installed the bolts in the tabs closest to the steering rack, were you not able to flip them so the rack would not have to be removed to adjust your alignment?

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Currently the locknuts are on the steering rack side, allowing for easy cam-tab change out. Sorry if I showed it opposite this.

@davidknox4451 2 года назад

@Seth Mellinger Thanks for the help. Now, I don't have to install the steering rack to see if the lock nut will clear the boot.

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

No worries! Glad to have helped, that steering rack is a total pain to deal with!!

@chrishenderson9688 Год назад

Would these work the same 07 toyota sequoia

@S0nnenberg Год назад

Not sure!! I’d ask Poly Performance.

@daneduvall4485 2 года назад

My truck got knocked out of alignment last trip. Do you recommend getting the alignment prior to installing the taco tabs?

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

It’s helpful to know where an ideal alignment sits for your truck prior to installing the taco tabs just so you can Mimic the cam positions with the taco tabs…however you can definitely install them prior to an alignment if you think you know how to set it up. A shop may be able to help too.

@daneduvall4485 2 года назад

@@S0nnenberg yeah I figured get it done right then throw them on. Thanks

@MC-jf6ic 11 месяцев назад

By the way, did you have a lift on your rig?

@S0nnenberg 11 месяцев назад

Yes, check out the walkthrough video to see a detailed explanation of the suspension.

@frankk2351 Год назад

How has it been driving? Any tire wear?

@S0nnenberg Год назад

They’ve been great! My alignment was perfect and there’s been no accelerated tire wear. If you watch my most recent wheeling video, you’ll see I beat them pretty hard too, and alignment stayed rock solid

@skateinspace 9 месяцев назад

lets be clear on this, its not that youll never lose your alignment again. its beefing up the cam tabs over toyotas OEM tabs that are very prone to fail or bend.
