Control arm

Hi there I need help. I just recently order a djm lowering kit 3/4. I just got the control arm off of my 98 Tacoma 2wd. Now here the hard part how do I get the control arm mounting shaft off of the control arm so I can install the djm control arm while using the old mounting.

 

Uhhhhhhhhh...

Wat.

Pictures?

 

Im trying to take out this part it highlighted in blue. I got the control arm off the truck but I don’t know how to get this part of the control arm.

 

It's probably molded into the rubber bushings my guess is you'll have to cut the bushings or press the bar out, either way you'll be left with bushings chunks that you're going to have to burn out with a torch.

Pictures of the actual part on end and what you are trying to install?

 

It djm upper control arm

 

Why are you lowering the truck?

 

It just for the look. It a mini Tacoma 2wd. It not a 4x4

 

Cause dropped trucks are dope

 

Yeah they are. I just got done with the passenger side control arm. The driver side control arm is pain in the rear especially bolt on my truck. here the picture on the passenger side.

 

so you got that cross shaft out? mines had to be removed by die grinder and a torch...it is a pain in the ass

 

So I have a 2 inch drop strut in my 2009 5 lug taco rn how could I drop it another 1.5 or 2 inches

 

You could do what I did and order a djm lowering kit from djm suspension. Or a ball joint flip I haven’t got a chance to work on the newer tacomas. There is another one it called a drop spindle I’m not sure if they make for the newer Tacoma but I think they make for like gmc, Chevy, doge but yeah. Do your research I’m pretty sure on the forum has a lot of information.
