    The inners are hidden behind the flexible boots. Again, yours might be okay.

    What would you guys recommend for the upper control arms. Bushings look shot there too. Im asking about replacement arms. Dont really want to spend time pushing out the old ones.

    Okay. Finally got the truck back from alignment yesterday. I ended up getting the entire upper control arm with bushings from the internet somewhere. The entire job was pretty straightforward. I would say the harded part was getting the deiver side alignment came in/out with the steering rack there. I unbolted the whole rack and the front driveshaft and it was still a pain.
    truck rides great.
    I accidentally installed steering arms backwards the first time around.. whoops.

    alignment guys had a lot to say about the taco sag on the driver side. Dont think they were aware thats its common among the toyotas.
    Thanks for all the help and comments!
