Which Lower ball joint

I am replacing my LBJs

What say ye!?

Moog
Napa
TRW
any other?
Please respond asap changing tomorrow.
Thanks for your help

 

Also curious to hear input on this.

 

OEM. Hit up the parts camelback Toyota website

 

Let us all know how it goes getting the originals out.

 

From what I was told at "another' toyota stealership, you have to buy the WHOLE LCA to upgrade the lower ball joints...?

 

Pretty sure that is correct. I went with Moog, 2 years and running strong.

 

The best quality Napa ball joints are made by a company named Spicer that makes some high quality stuff. If you go with Napa, those are the ones to buy.

 

can you just replace the LBJs or do you need to replace the lca too?

 

You can just replace the LBJs but pretty sure that a press is needed. If a press is needed then I'd guess you need to remove the LCA to do it. Not sure if there is a hand tool to do this.

 

LBJ bolts to the LCA and is "pressed" into the spindle.

 

You can replace just the ball joint.
You can rent a press for free at auto zone.

Looks pretty easy...
