Thanh · 03-09-2023, 09:38 PM

hello guys

when i replacing suspension for my 2016 4runner sr5, i found out that my suspension control arm ball joint got crack so i went online and looking for the ball joint but i couldn't find it anywhere. I don't want to buy the whole suspension control arm left and right which is cost 600$ for a pair just for the balls joint fix.

Could you guys help me looking for me the part numbers for the lower control arm ball joints left and right, please.

Thank you very much for your consideration
Danny

They are only sold as the control arm, complete.

Look on the bright side, you get new bushings too which if you off-road get beat up more. Might as well do the other side while you're at it....

Or visit a pick and pull to get one. I saw some on eBay too

I bought a used one couple years ago and it was fine. Also, 1Aauto sells new aftermarket which are pretty good quality for about $200 each, I'm running them on mine.

What do you mean get crack? Rubber boot? If metal get crack, it will fall off, snap in half. If rubber boot cracked due to old age, so replace a boot if you cought it early. Febest in FL makes all boots, and it is good practice to replace them before they become brittle, about 7 years. Replace them all, upper and lower. And internal axle boot too.
