Front suspension questions

Okay, I have a 01 tacoma v6 4 wheel drive automatic. The lower ball joint bolt keep snapping off, or threads keep stripping and it's causing the tire to fold up. Steering spindle knucker or whatever the fuck it's called is sliding off the lower ball joint.. wondering the part name of the first arm in the picture and where I can get it. And also how much it would be and if it's worth it to change the whole suspension on the front. What kit I would need,any all all advice is really appreciated this has happened to both sides. I was able to helicoil one side but this is the last time as the bolts just snapped in this arm.

 

Proper torque and locktite are extremely important on those bolts. I lost a spindle myself. This is a very common issue. Google it, you'll see.

For NEW replacements, you can hit up Camelback Toyota parts online, they are a vendor and have a TW discount code.
For used, Car-Part.com is a good resource.

Not sure what you mean by change the suspension out, do you mean aftermarket lower control arms? Or aftermarket spindles?

 

I was thinking the a arms on the bottom and top was just looking at a new yota and they didn't have the four bolt lower ball it was one big bolt wasn't sure if u could redo the whole setup or what. Was getting frustrated with these breaking and not even four bying to break em.. so the part I'm looking for would it be a spindal arm?

 

More then likely the spindle is all you need yes, You might be able to get those bolts out with a easy out, and then chase the threads. Ive wheeled the piss out of mine and have had zero issues.

Also, dont use skimpy bolts. Run by toyota and get the real bolts, or at minimum some 10.9 flanged hex head from a trustworthy hardware shop.

 

I have a spindle that would work.

 

Thanks appreciate it I think I'm going to buy the spindle bcus two of em r broke could probably get with an easy out they are also already helicoiled and the other one is stripped out it's looking like it pulled the threads..

 

I'm going to need both sides

 

I have both sides, but they need new bearings pressed in.

I have a single passenger side that has good bearings. If you're interested.

 

Appreciate it but need em ready to go trying to get this thing on the road before I head to another fire
