    I am so confused right now, everywhere I look, people have that kind of knuckle whereas I have a way different knuckle on my 2010 Tacoma trd sport. mine doesn't have a lower control arm bracket, my stabilizer links I bought have too big of a bolt to thread into the current steering knuckle, also when I pull up wheel hub and bearing they have the 4 bolt pattern that is bolted into the knuckle whereas mine looks to be pressed in, is there a a replacement knuckle where I can change to the 4 bolt pattern? will also make balljoint replacement a lot easier having the lower control arm bracket to take out with two bolts

    Is yours a 5 lug wheel or 6 lugs? 4/6 cylinder?

    I have a 6 lug, 6 cyl, I bought the truck lifted, it has a fab tech lift kit on it, looks like they still used the old billstein shocks that were equipped on the trd sport. I'm starting to think the fab tech kit changed out the steering knuckle.....

    Judging by their website, the spindle is indeed swapped out with their kit.

    The fab tech kit uses their own spindle

    Put some pictures of your truck from the front/side and your suspension. Also I would like to see what they did with the differential using that kit.

    thanks guys I wasn't looking at that specific kit must've overlooked it, good to know. Was replacing the calipers and thought I had the one screw hand tightened good, evidently I did not and stripped it out a bit. I'm going to email them to see if they will sell just one of their knuckles if I can't re-tap the threads. ill post some pictures tonight and show you how it looks.

    I wanted to let you know I was able to get a LOT of adjustment from the SPC light racing UCA's. It is hard to explain, but you can move the lowers all the way forward and still do most of the adjustments with their upper ball joints. Great support too. Questions let me know.

    Your first pic suggests a bend spindle.
