    We don't plan on producing a uniball replacement kit for the stock arm. It would be quite a bit of work to adapt.

    We haven't personally installed and tested the delta joints. Sorry - we don't have a 100% YES or NO answer for you.

    Figured as much, but was worth a shot. Easiest way i could see it happening is pressing in a uniball and spring clips on both sides. Although that can lead to a critical failure in the right situation.

    My guess is that was pre-alignment. Here is how everything looks up-close:

    Just a bunch of old crap
    A previous shop crushed the tabs and new ones were welded on so it's a mess while I look to have it redone. This is pre-alignment.

    No worries, just wondered. If it uses the same Uni-Ball as your uppers then I would assume yes. But, you know how that goes.

    113,000 miles is a long way to go without replacing the bushings. They definitely got some great usage on your truck. We don't recommend waiting quite that long before the next change ;)

    Agreed both driver side bushings looked great with zero play. I've been pleased with the lowers, so I have no regrets on the purchase.

    It is the same Stainless Steel Uniball. I'll post up if we receive customer feedback on compatibility and install.

    having the race series in the tacoma and non-race in the FJ... the non-race make swapping in a new uniball WAY easier! really the only downside to the race series... both have been great additions
