Front end recommendations

Working on my 2011. It has a two inch left and 33” tires. I need to change upper and lower ball joints and some other front end work. Should I go with OEM or is there an aftermarket brand y’all can recommend.

 

If you go OE you’ll have to buy uca/lca arms as the ball joints aren’t available thru Toyota.

 

am-autoparts has kits with various frontend parts you can get.

I replaced upper control arms, lower ball joints, ty-rod inner & outers last year, real happy.
Kit was $185 w/ free shipping.

 

How did you get that price of $185. My 2008 4x4 needs a front suspension overhaul so I was happy to see this thread. The upper and lower arms are $359 on that website.

 

eBay - should be abke to find “Toyota”
ball joints . I just ordered a set for the kids 08 lowers 90 bucks for 2 shipped . Should have by end of week.

 

This looks like a better deal if it is going to cost $329 plus struts.

I'm not very computer savy so I can't link,
but I have been buying parts from them for years, always been happy w/ them.

Search for different kits,

my kit had upper control arms w/ ball joint in, lower ball joints, inner & outer ty-rods,
they are TRQ parts.
Like I said my kit was $185.
am-autoparts always is free shipping.

 

I replace mine with Moog from RockAuto last fall, just the lowers.
I know... it'll probably fall apart next year....
There's not a lot of love for Moog here. They did say "Made in USA" on the box.

 

I always think of Moog as higher quality parts...but I can't prove it
