Lower control arm

I replaced my upper control arms on my 2003 a while ago with some JBA’s but didn’t have the money to do the lowers at the same time. This caused my cv axles to rub since the alignment was off. I’m now able to afford some new lower control arms and I plan on replacing that and the cv axles all at once! Does anybody have any recommendations of lower control arms to pair with my JBA’s? I’m not looking for something super expensive but I also don’t want to buy the cheapest thing.

 

Were you not able to get it aligned properly with the stock LCAs? FWIW, I have SPC UCAs and still have stock LCAs (with original bushings too boot!) and have no issues with alignment. Also why replace CVs? Are they wasted? What's wrong with them? Toyota CVs are far superior over aftermarket. Rebuild em. Save some money. If you don't need to replace something, don't.

 

OEM

 

JBA’s should work with stock LCA and the angle of the UCA would not affect your CV axles. If you lifted the truck at the same time that would do it

 

Stick with your stock ones. Replace the bushings, along with your steering rack bushings. If the alignment shop couldn't align it properly, go to a different shop.

 

+1 for a new shop..
