    For anyone interested in measuring, the outside measurement (disregarding the bushings) would be the critical one I think.
    The inside dimension should follow unless they ever changed the length of the mounting tubes.

    This is the older style, the ones on my truck have the tapered inner bushing part. And I distinctly remember when tightening the bolt it squeezed the arm in just a bit

    It looks like you're including the bushings in your measurements?
    Just going by the picture... 8 1/4" inside (disregarding bushings)?

    makes me wonder wtf the set I got last month are tubular and not cast.
    Might have to send then back for the newest design.
    I would think the new design would cover all gens of Tacoma and Tundra.

    seems like they want to get rid of the backstock of the previous design before even releasing any of the newest ones

    That's what they're words reflect but seems like there are many different versions of product out there. Maybe the vendors aren't supposed to be sending new stock out yet? Maybe vendors are only allowed to send new stock once old stock is sold out?

    mine had play when i installed them too and i didnt like that. the idea of the UCA moving forward and backward while driving didnt settle with me so i just used the stock washers and stuck them between the bushing and the mount the bushing is supposed to press against.
    ill edit post with a pic when i get a chance

    I always read they were very helpful to people with the old, shitty ball joints. Maybe they'll help you with with the bushings, being they're evidently a couple styles old.. :notsure:
