Mevotechs TTX LCAs?

Has anyone tried the Mevotech TTX lower control arms?

They seem to be a decent?? aftermarket option.

I’m getting ready to refresh my front end and I’m stuck on whay to do with it the LCA’s.

I can

1. Install another set of Moogs and hope they make it as far as the existing set (75k miles on the LCA bushing, 50k on the ball joints) - Moog stuff is junk.

2. Rebuild the factory LCAs with new bushings and ball joints - pain in my ass.

3. Replace with OEM LCAs - super expensive.

4. Replace with the Mevotechs TTXs - maybe better than the Moogs?

 

I’ve had the TTXs on since last July and they’ve been fine so far, granted that isn’t super long. But for the price I’m happy with them. They were like $130 each at rock auto when I got them. Plus you can keep the oem arms to rebuild if you want.

Only complaint is that they weren’t packaged well so there were chips in the paint on both and one was badly damaged but they mailed a replacement

 

I am curious to try them. Maybe you will.

I rebuild used OEM and like you said, it was a PITA. Labor time and parts money for what. Had to use a bottle jack and press.

another thing that could be a good idea that I’ve seen done is reinforcing them to try and achieve somewhat of a steel fabricated part effect on a budget. Which is while they’re not installed yet, having the seams welded to add strength. Basically completely welding them. Could potentially even be done at home with a cheap low power flux welder.

just not filling the drain holes. So they retain their ability to drain debris and water, and be cleanable, as designed.

 

I've had my set of ttx lca's on for a year with a lot of mixed terrain driving and they seem to be.holding up really well. Just had the first yearly round of greasing which is nice to have the ability to do.

 

I have the TTX LCAs, they are solid. My only complaint is the angle of the grease zerk on the ball joint gives very little clearance from the CV axle, so you need a really low profile grease coupler.
As far as longevity is concerned, I have only had them on my Tacoma for about 20k miles, but on my 3/4 ton Duramax I have had upper and lower TTX balljoints on for around 80k miles and they are still tight.
