    I purchased 2006 Tacoma double can with 70,000 miles right before I purchased at dealer previous owner installed new method race wheels tires and new spc uca now 20,000 miles later upper ball joints are junk any suggestions on replaceable ball joints not trying to buy new uca due to wanting to buy new front coil overs and rear shocks . Any advice will be appreciated . Dealer suggested to go back stock and I suggested him to go f--- himself due to me paying extra for the xtras at purchase .

    I don't think you can use anything except that specific balljoint in that control arm. I'm assuming this is the old style control arm? If so, you might want to replace that anyways. Contact SPC and see if they want to help.

    I'm pretty sure they are the same, but I'm not certain.

    I don't see how they could be junk? They are double the size of stock ones and sealed with a rubber boot unlike uniball style joints.
