    Hi all,

    I have a 2003 Pre-Runner 4x2 (2.7 liter) 4-door Tacoma with about 230,000 miles (all California freeway driven).

    I want to have the LBJ replaced with OEM parts as a preventive maintenance, and need finding the right parts for the job. Plan is to buy the parts and take to an independent shop.

    So far I have found the parts numbers for the lower joints but there are so many different part numbers for the same parts (apparently).
    https://parts.capitoltoyota.com/search?search_str=lower+joint

    Can people here please advise what PN is the correct ones and if there is any other parts I would need for the job? It will be much appreciated.

    Also, would anyone recommend anything else related to be replaced at the same time?


    Thank you so much!

    01-04 have the dust boot x2 and make sure to change the LBJ bolt x8. Buy the correct length bolt btw.

    I made this same order last night, see below for my part #'s. This includes the bolts. Total cost was about $240 before shipping. Ignore the back glass seal obviously!
