Front Suspension Rehab.

I have a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 5 Lug, 2.4L with a DJM 3/4 drop, I am about to borrow a buddies car for a few days whilst I tear mine down, i'm at 210k now, and its time to rehab this truck. I have an intense rotational thudding in my front drivers side wheel well, I also notice that I bottom out in that wheel well only. I plan on rejuvenating the truck back to the former glory it once held.
Upper Ball Joints Both sides
Lower Ball Joints Both sides
Tie rod Ends inner/outer
Inner/Outer seals, bearings
Calipers
Pads
Rotors
Shocks(all 4 corners)

1. Where do I get or order these stabilizer bar bushings?
(the red in the picture)


2. Am I missing anything else you would replace to insure everything is up to par and feeling new/and crisp?

3.What size shocks should I purchase, and what brand should I purchase?

4. To touch on the intense thudding I get, it is specific to the front drivers side wheel, the rotational thudding happens when I turn left, when the vehicle is straight I do not have an issue. Could you think of a part or malfunction I am not seeing?

5. I want to order OEM Calipers (Camelback toyota) for both sides, will they come with the anti squeel shims? I think I may have lost one in the process of swapping breaks last time, I have one side with a Napa caliper, and the other with a OEM one, I figure swap both back to new OEM, Unless there is something out there better than OEM.


The truck runs great and has never let me down, I want to insure it will go another 200k with me and be pristine. When I got my last alignment I was told I needed to change ball joints, so I figured whilst im in there it would be a good investment to rejuvenate everything that is a wear item. Anything else I am not thinking of or missing, please let me know.

 

Just to make this clear that isn’t your truck in the photo?

 

This is the bushing you need for the sway bar

Not me in the picture.

 

So you arnt using the qa1 conversion?

 

I am not.

 

Coil amd ahocm wise it should all back stock up front. Rear i think you want 7” travel shocks. Djm does make ahocks for this kit

 

How lkng have you had the kit on your truck?

 

@Sebz13 Hey, I know it's been a while but how did/does it ride after you replaced everything? I want to do the same thing on my 5 lug (not lowered)(yet...) and I want to get a realistic idea of what to expect. Right now, I'm on the original suspension except for KYB shocks and 16" rims and it feels like I can feel every bump, crack and pebble in the road.

 

@ireymon Drives like a new truck, everything feels tighter, was worth the money. The truck may have miles on it, but everything is brand new underneath.

 

Thanks man! Now I just need to convince the wife to let me drop it at the same time (technically it's her truck that she bought new in '99 even though it's my daily).

 

Are any of these parts specific to 5 lug or 6 lug? I want to refresh the suspension on my 1st gen 5 lugger, just want to make sure I'm getting the right parts.

I've done Bilstein HD's all the way around, so shocks are out of the way.
