3rd Gen LCA Bushings

After having to replace my LCA bushings and ball joint already, I'm going with aftermarket LCAs from rockauto and want to rebuild my OEM ones. What bushings and ball joint do you all recommend for the 3rd gen?

 

I was in the aftermarket chassis parts business for the last 6 years. I would avoid aftermarket ball joints and bushings. They suck compared to OEM. If you must go aftermarket, I'd go with 555 ball joints and Clevite/Tenneco bushings. 555 IS NOT OEM, but the real ones that are made in Japan (there is a company called Huang Yu in china/Taiwan that also brands their parts "555") are mostly of OK designs. They did screw up the design of the LBJ for the 3rd gen 4runner / 2nd gen tacoma...went to a steel ball in a steel socket instead of the OE style 2 piece graphite impregnated delrin bearing, but for other applications I've been seen them use the OE design. Avoid chinese manufactured bushings if you can...they simply don't last. Clevite/Tenneco are made in Mexico or the US and are decent.


I'd be more inclined to find a good used set of OEM LCAs than I would anything aftermarket honestly, or just go to the dealer.
