Toytec coilover bushing split at bottom

Has anyone seen this before? This is the bottom end of the passenger side that is split. They are Toytec Alumas with about 60K miles on them. I saw it when I was replacing the SPC ball joints. @memario1214 any thoughts?

 

That the built in jounce bumper?

 

Better pics. Sent them over to Toytec today and they will take a look at them.

 

@reywcms you like to bounce some suspension haha....have you seen this before? Still waiting on a call back from Toytec.

 

Is that part of the aluminum lower coil pocket? Or just the bushing itself?

 

The bushing.

 

If you’re talking about this part outlined in green, I think that’s a built in jounce bumper.

 

Thanks. It's basically a bump stop?

 

Im not the authority on Toytec shocks, so I’ll defer that to an expert, but many shocks have these jounce bumper on the shock body to prevent bottoming the shock out and ruining the internal seals. It looks like a jounce bumper to me. If they sell the parts to rehab these shocks, you can likely buy a new one and rebuild the shock with it. How old are these? 60k miles is a middle of the pack run for a shock. Most won’t live past 80k anyway. Might be time to replace or upgrade.

 

Thanks. They have roughly 53 or 54K on them.

 

Yep basically a bushing bump stop. Easily replaceable.

 

Let us know if you hear anything back. They just got sold again and supposedly the new owners are trying to fix all the order issues from the last year. Hopefully they can keep it afloat as I liked doing business with them before they sold to the last owners.

 

Something like this, but for your application

@memario1214 might be getting more of my money if I need to replace it or go for an upgrade

 

This might be it, double check the diameter of your shaft and how long the jounce is.

These are the type I've seen on Fox/Kings, but they're all shorter than the Elka one.

Im thinking about moving to the Bilstein setup.

 

This is the way..

 

Yup. 8100s

 

So says the guy with the only OEM parts left on this truck being a few body panels and the glovebox latch....

 

LOL easily replaceable with long travel duh haha

 

No worries. I just sent you a PM.

 

They just emailed back and said It's just a bump stop so you can remove it since the truck has bump stops on it.

 

That's true, you could add a Perry part bump/Duro bump as an upgrade.

 

There's only a handful of employees (11) left, but they're trying to make things right. A couple of the old Toytec folks are involved again. I spoke to them yesterday and they understand a lot of people think they suck.

I hope it works out and things go back to the way it was before DPI ran them into the ground.
