    ive searched and haven't seen anything about these bushings... Maybe I just didn't search the right words but has anyone tried the Armstrong control arm bushings? I came across them in eBay cause I'm on the hunt for new lower bushings

    I thought I recall reading there is a issue with the energy suspension poly bushings which is why I didn't consider those as a option


    Edit updated my original post so there is no confusion on which bushing works

    The psb bushing part numbers are 437 and 438
    And here's a current link to them on eBay

    since no one had any input I figured I would update this and hopefully help some people out that are looking for alternatives I contacted the seller to confirm what bushings I needed for my truck and he gave me the correct part numbers and even out a kit together which I'll include a link below... Overall the installation was not bad since I had a spare set of lower arms that I worked on and got all new hardware from my work(Toyota dealership) one minor mishap did occur which I have contacted the seller/company about and they are in the process of correcting it but the sleeve for the front bushing was smaller then the alignment cam tube... All I did to correct it tho was drill out the bushing sleeve to 3/4 of a inch and it was fine... It may not be a issue with aftermarket alignment hardware but it was cheaper for me to buy oem stuff then to buy aftermarket ones

    But enough chatter

    The psb bushing part numbers are 437 and 438

    Unfortunately I didn't purely cause it's similar to many other installs that can be found on here... I wanted to see if these bushings where a option for us Tacoma enthusiast.... And they are and hopefully the next person to do these won't run into trouble with the front bushing sleeve like I did....

    Had I not run into that issue with the sleeve and leaving my truck down at work and pressed for time cause we close earlier on Saturdays I would have taken the time to get pictures
