    Was cleaning out my garage and found these bolts I know they are for a tundra or tacoma but unsure what they are for. Do any of you recognize what part they are? I feel like they are for control arms or maybe differential.


    Thanks!

    The bolts on the left look like possible lower control arm. The ones on the right are probably differential. Thought maybe someone out there who knows this stuff in and out might know right away lol

    They are not from my truck. I got some random stuff laying around and just couldn't figure out what they are for. I suspected it was lower control arm or suspension bolts.

    The 1st and third bold from the right looks like it goes to the tow hook in the front of the OR models.

    The ones on the right that are threaded on both top and bottom are used on engine mounts where you can use a socket on the hex shaped pointy part to remove the stud for easy installation.
