I have an ARB Air Locker, came out of my 96 2wd 4runner, with the stock gears and 3rd member assembled. Had this in my 4runner for about 3 months, ran with it locked for roughly 100 miles on Anzo Borrego trip, then totaled it from the front end. Have all wiring and air lines to hook up (NO...

These will need to be replaced once there is a noticeable amount of slop, which you will hear. The advantage of these over stock is that when they start to go they will not pull out of the socket like the standard ball joint does. I would love to see some pics from people who say this can...

To replace the uniball you remove a snap ring and can tap with a rubber mallet or a small press to get it out and then anti-seize the new one and lightly tap or press the new one in. Should only take an hour max per side.

$575 is for the pair but things are on hold right now. I am having difficulties finding a cnc machinist that will produce such a small run without wanting way too much for them. I am working as fast as I can on getting them done and ready for purchase but I also have a full time job, other jobs...

I am not looking for anymore cores at the moment. If they are tacoma cores I already have some on the way but am not going to take anymore until I know that they will work.

PM sent. I can see what I can do for the Tacoma guys, but not promises. Thanks

I am not sure how these will work with any kit, especially smaller shops kits. I have a couple of people with Camburg and Total Chaos kits that will be test fitting once I am able to get the spacers done. Also I cant guarantee that these will work with Tacomas. IVe heard there are slight...

In theory that is correct but I designed the uniball spacers for a stock application. I would have to see just how much joint travel a LT kit uses. It would be a somewhat easy fix to add some misalignment into the spacers, but might not be needed. I'll definitely be looking into it soon. Sent...

If the Camburg kit uses the stock lower ball joint then yes I believe that it will. I haven't test fit it on one but I do have someone that has the kit on their 4Runner that I'll be test fitting it on. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks man. I've been drawing up different designs on making it from scratch but every way runs into problems and I come right back to this. It's much more cost effective and I have no worries about strength. I sent it off a 3' ledge in anzo borrego a couple weeks ago and it's fine. I've cracked...

I appreciate the offer but I'm going to keep it local, San Diego. Just too much room for a hassle otherwise. Thanks though Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am waiting on multiple CNC machinists to get back to me on making the spacers. I have been run around by a couple of guys so I am just waiting to hear back from a few more shops. Other than that there are 5 sets at powder-coat right now and I have all the hardware and uniballs to make it...

There is probably 100 threads about lower ball joints and how to check and signs of wear. I would start there, as this thread isnt really about that. Try the search bar, best of luck.

I have tested many different brands, well not too sure on the brand because once I receive them I cant tell who made them. The first set that I did was OEM and cut and welded very nicely. The next 2 sets I knew were aftermarket but to my surprise the cut and welded exactly the same. There might...

Welded up another set. Still need to flatten the top to mate to the spindle but these welds just seem too nice to grind away. Getting very close to having everything finalized. Knee surgery has laid me up more than I hoped but I am still working as fast as I can. Thanks for the patience and support!
