So my failure was with an aftermarket lower control arm. Replaced it with OEM and never had another issue.

Does the OEM LCA have a "TOYOTA" stamp? If not, how do we identify if a used LCA is OEM or aftermarket?


will the 1999-2006 Tundra LCAs fit a 1996-2002 4Runner?

I will say that I had to replace this arm before (my rig hit a curb before I bought it) and I went with an aftermarket. Definitely getting OEM Toyota this time around. The other side has no issues at all and I have to assume this aftermarket arm just wasn't built as well.
Well running a rough trail at speeds that no oem vehicle was designed to run with a long travel 80 mph utv will definitely cause something to break. I've seen long travel pre runner trucks break trying to keep up with high power sport utvs.

Not sure, think the yota arms have a part # stamped. They also look different...beefier.
