    Sorry for cross posting but I'm not getting traction in the suspension forums. I'm very, very confused about the two different front suspension setups for the 2001 Tacoma. One appears to be a UCA with ball joint and a spindle, the other a knuckle with a pressed in ball joint and a UCA that receives the bolt. Wisdom please?

    Edit: Both set ups can be seen on dealer page here (scroll down for the second one): https://parts.olathetoyota.com/v-20...4l-v6-gas/front-suspension--upper-control-arm

    4 run, 2 don't
    One is for a 5 lug one is for a 6 lug.

    You list a 4x4 in your profile, therefore you have a 6 lug.

    The second link diagram is a 5 lug setup.
