OME description claims there is "built in increased caster" which I recall reading was +3.5 deg, can't remember if I read this in a forum post or in a website description. Their description is rather vague but I read the description on numerous different sites/sources and found the 3.5 number...

No problem man, was definitely missing a thread like this when I bought these haha And I knew I forgot something! Thanks for reminding me. I am on TRD pro wheels, no spacers. I ~think~ my backspacing is like +12. Running 275/70/r17 KO2s. I had no real issues with clearance before, and...

Been stalking these forums for years and gleaned tons of super useful info for various projects on the 5 T4Rs we have in the family. Figured I'd finally make a post as I wasn't able to find a post of this nature prior to buying/installing these UCAs since they're relatively new on the market...

Installed OME UCAs today on a 2006 sport using these instructions. Went great thanks.

Installed them today, went well. Will post a thread with pics and tips and such once I achieve this ridiculous post count that is preventing me.... Bought them on Amazon of all places.

I put close to 20k on my old 2005 V6 in a month and a half one summer. From Virginia up to Labrador/Newfoundland Canada then to Seattle then all the way back to Virginia with a stop to wheel for two days in Moab. Only failure was blew a tire on a gravel road. Had >200k at that time.

I replaced both of mine with Koyo bearings from Ebay. They came pre-assembled so you dont have to deal with the studs behind the bearing. No issues with ABS sensors. Here is the link to mine. 2003-2020 4Runner GX470/460 4x4 complete KOYO Front Wheel Hub bearing assembly | eBay

Installed OME UCAs Fairly straightforward. We'll see how the alignment goes. Still working on replacing the tie rods...

Don't the 5th gen 4runners have a heavier spring rate than the 4th gen? Either way I think an OEM spring with 15k will handle better than an OEM with 207k haha

Advice Please Hi guys, I've got a complicated one for you New to the forum, looking for a little advice. I've got a 2005 limited V6, currently running a daystar 2.5/1.5 on stock suspension. I'm going to replace it with bilstein 5100s that came off a 2014 4runner with 15k. The front struts...
