    Icon is now making adapters to use their Delta Joints on 95-04 Tacoma's.

    If you have Icon arms you will be using PN 614550

    If you have NON Icon arms you will be using PN 614560

    I ordered parts to install in my Camburg arms.

    I have the delta joints on my 5th gen 4Runner and GX470 and both have been silent and flawless the combined 30K I have put on them.

    Just read up on that Delta joint they designed. Wow, I like that a lot. If/whenever I get upper arms, they will definitely be getting these Delta joints installed in them

    You use the 05+ Tacoma Delta joints and the spindle adapters is what make it work for our trucks. You can thank Toyota for swapping the ball joints between the generations.

    Call Icon, they can get you the parts needed.


    I will have to take some pics later but they are very similar to a conventional spindle adapter for a uniball.

    These are the specific parts to adapt a 05+ Tacoma Delta joint to 95-04 Tacoma spindle. The link in the first post has the parts diagram.

    K, I'm looking at your pics and some of the items in your pic I can see where it might go but just need to make sure. Another thing is can this be used with the stock upper control arm?

    This is only to be used with an aftermarket UCA, it will not fit a stock UCA.

    did you ever get these installed?

    I'm looking to use these with a 3.5 kit in the very near future.

    any chance you could take a picture of how they sit installed? just watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8lBYkjyFz4
    and it seems like the taper would have to seat really shallow to make sure the arm-cup doesn't interfere with the Spindle seat.
