1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Send me a pic and I'll check my catalog at work if I can't get em, send a link and I'll buy and install whatever you want

 

Got dammit

 

One more thing.. silly question.. do I need an alignment after replacing LBJs?

 

No.

 

Yes and no if they're any different than the old ones yes if they're identical no

 

Really? Interesting.. maybe I’ll just get one just incase

 

90% of the time no. unless your replacing them due to damage (bent, ETC)

 

If they're already aftermarket or a different design

 

if the balljoint is a different design, its not meant for the truck. they never redesigned the ball joints

unless your going to 4runner balljoints... which then you need outer and inner tie rods too

 

Different design? 1st gen LBJs are all the same. Only difference would be 2wd vs 4wd. WTF are you talking about?

 

Just ordered oem so I’m thinking I shouldn’t need one?

 

Any number of different joints could have been put on them over the years which are physically different

 

Are your old ones oem?

 

This is correct right here ^ (minus the inner tie rod part, only outer)

 

the only OEM redesign that happened was 00-04 tundra used one style ball joint. 05-06 got beefier... 4runner and taco never changed.

 

What?????

The LBJ for the 1st gen was never redesigned. Again what in the living fuck are you talking about? Even aftermarket are the SAME FUCKING DESIGN......

 

555? Ac-Delco?, Moog? CTR?, TRW? Whatever factory in china? Any other brand? I'm sure they're all exactly like originals

 

Honestly not sure. A shop replaced them back when I wasn’t educated about this kinda stuff. Going on probably about 80k miles on them.

 

They are still the same design...

Dude, just stop. Please.

 

I'd get one but it's your discression
