    2005 Tan Tacoma Base 5 LUG: Beaten , abused and still running strong.
    Fat Bobs 2.75 lift and level with short AAL, 16x8 Level 8 Guardian Wheels, 245/75R16 Toyo Open Country ATII, custom trans shift kit(home made), Trans temp. and Vac gauge, URD fuel pump upgrade(going back to stock soon).
    I've heard nightmares of finding the forward LCA bushings that should fit. Any leads on some good bushings that fit up tight and dont get loose after a year would be great.

    I've got a pair of Mevotech Supreme LCA'S sitting 5 feet away from me but my ball joints are still tight on the OEM LCA'S.

    To top this all off why does the FSM say the castle nut on the ball joint stud is a one time use? :confused:

    Well after hunting for bushings all day and finding out the problem bushing is the lower front bushing I decided to just go ahead and and replace the entire LCA. One day I will rebuild the LCA'S and have them waiting for the day they are needed.
