    Anyone know the part number for the oem 3rd gen lower ball joint? I can only find the entire lower control arm and not the lower ball joint

    It’s easier on our trucks and cheaper to buy the whole LCA

    Ahh. Thanks for the quick response.
    Ya problem is shipping to where I live cost almost as much as the control arm online. Going to my local toyota is almost 600 per side as well. Normally I change the ball joint only on my other trucks so I figured I'd ask if anyone knew anything or had any trouble with after market ones like moog ect

    What symptoms do you have? I have a clunk type of noise on my driver side when turning right that I am having trouble chasing down.

    No real symptoms yet. Just getting ready because I have almost 100k miles. So I figured start doing research for parts while everything is still good and I'm not panicking later when it does start to fail.

    I also have a clunk when turning full right sometimes, normally over speed bumps ect. I kinda Narrowed it down to my driver front control arm bushing. Seems like it almost binds a little when full turn

    How about this, I'll put my money where my mouth is. If they don't fit, I'll pay you for them.

    Did those ball joints 43330-09510 end up fitting the OEM LCAs?

    Did you check Parts.Toyota.Com? Check out Sunshine Toyota in Michigan as the source, enter FreeShip at checkout. $265 for that LCA with free shipping. Can't beat it.

    Replaced mine with Moog and they have been solid so far. Plus they are greaseable. I was able to change them out using the free rental ball joint kits from Oreillys. It wasn’t easy but my boyfriend and I got it done in an evening.

    The only tip I have if you do the install is that you make sure it’s oriented correctly per the instructions otherwise the zerk fitting won’t be in the right position to grease it later. Trust me on that one, ha!

    Edit to add that the Moog PN is
