The bushing on the tailgate assist on Toyota Tacomas have a habit of breaking. Not a big deal for some Tacomas but if yours was built between August 2015 and February 2016 you can't just replace the bushing - they don't make it anymore - so you have to replace the piece that contains the bushing as well. Estimates to have the dealer replace is run $250.00 - $300.00. You can do it yourself for less than half that. This video shows what is involved and some of the things I discovered.
