Lower Control Arms?

About $650 before tax over at Longo in El Monte, but usually the extra cost for me is worth it since I can order until 7pm and they'll be ready to pick up the next day around 12:30. If I'm planning on buying more than $300 I would probably shop around though - most of the stuff I buy is small stuff and prefer to have it in hand within that short timespan as I am not as good of a planner as I would like to be in most cases haha.

 

I've been running Mevotechs (~$250 shipped from Rock Auto) for about 3.5y now (~30k miles, lots of wheeling and a fair bit of abuse), no issues.

 

autoparts.toyota.com you can then shop the Toyota dealers that are part of the online program.

 

Olathe Toyota has them for $287 and $300.

 

I separated the BJ brackets to install new coils. That’s when I noticed the BJs were loose as a goose. One had excessive play, the other had no friction whatsoever. However, I really hadn't yet noticed any drive-ability issues.

Normally yes, but his crack looks pretty deep. (Pun intended)

 

If boot is cracked they are on borrowed time......stupid cheapout caca to have to spend crazy money to have serviceable ball joints.

 

OP, are you open to used ones?

I replaced my original set with OEM, then decided to upgrade to LT. My OEMs are for sale for $300 for the set with LCA skid plates.

I went into a few Off Road Shops in Temecula yesterday and they said that in the “Under $1000.00 Range” the Mooge High Utilization ones were the best.

 

Idk oem is still well under $1000.

 

I did a buy once, cry once on OEM ones. They come with the best ball joints also. Truck has no play, no squeaks anymore, and keep an alignment dead on for the past 2 years.

 

Sounds like you are in Riverside county. If you plan on desert wheeling I would highly suggest upgrading to stronger stock length if you plan on keeping stock length. I broke an OEM lower from desert and repeated years of abuse when I lived in SD. Luckily it snapped driving down my driveway and broke about 100 yards down the street. I was able to barely get my truck back in my garage myself. Check out dirt king or BTF fab for some beefy LCAs that you can beat on. Total chaos makes some but the price is steep at $2200.
