    I just got my reboxed SPC UCA from rock auto today and I was expecting to unbox some second gen half tubular spc control arms but I got what appears to be the latest generation fully forged spc uca. I just want to make sure these will fit my 2012 Tacoma. Do the numbers on the arms seem to match other newer spc UCA’s? Thanks

    Not trying to be an A-hole, but if you're that concerned why would you not just go straight to the source and contact Mevotech and/or SPC to verify?

    I’ve never had much luck with customer service before so I thought I’d try TW

    I assume they fit. That's based off your vehicle information being entered into rock auto. They look like 05+ Tacoma SPC arms to me.

    Here is my story. Long story short yes even the instruction sheet matched the SPC rev number, just no logo on the top.

    They look right.

    Biggest thing is did you get the right ball joints? There are two different tapers on the shaft of the upper ball joints hence different part number for 4runner and tacoma. All 2nd/3rd gen taco UCAs are the same though.


    Good luck with the xAxis frame joints, I wish i never "upgraded" my original specride bushings to them, on set number 3 of xAxis joints in 30k miles.

    Yeah I’ve heard that, was kind of hoping for the older design because of the bushing but hopefully the warranty is honored if it becomes an issue.
