    What LCA Bushings are recommended for factory lower control arms on a 3rd gen 4WD ?

    I'm having to replace almost all of my exposed suspension rubber on my Tacoma, likely due to whatever was in the detergent of the touchless car wash I was going to. I figured I should pre-emptively replace these at the same time I have the marlin's LCA brace installed.

    I would replace them with OEM parts (...not a fan of poly-bushings).

    Cheers

    That is what shops will tell you as well...

    However, replacing the bushings and ball joints is a relatively easy job. It can be done with a bottle jack and a vice if you don't have a press.

    Cheers

    Replaced mine with the whiteline ones about 2 years ago I think and also installed the marlin brace. No issues yet.

    Just be prepared to cut out the cam bolts and replace them....I had to.
