You mean on the UCA's last pictured correct? You think that they are selling the same style for both 3rd and 4th gen. Correct me if I'm wrong.

But no. The last posted set are for 3rd Gen only. 4th gen sets are still the same style uniball as they have been.

Hope this helps. If not help us out with some details.

I was hoping i could just

Upper Arm Bushing Rebuild Kit

buy "just" the correct length sleeves, add washers or fabricate the sleeves instead of a complete set of new bushings and sleeves.

Yes. If I remember correctly several pages back there is a user that installed the blue ones. I believe they too have the sleeve length issue.

Was wondering what is the benefit of the Tacoma bj in your setup vs the stock t4r bj uca? Debating on getting a set of these ornthe silver or blue UCAS on eBay. Thanks in advance

I needed UCAs that gave me more adjustment than the stock UCAs. The tacoma ball joints are nearly identical to the t4r ones that I compared them to, except the t4r ball joints are approximately 1.5-2.0mm larger at the mounting base diameter.

Silver Suicide UCA's are Rubicon test and performed perfectly! 20k Miles on them with no issues!

 

[dkyleb]

I've been wheeling the piss out of my eBay UCA's, including 1000+ miles on gravel logging roads. No issues yet. I've been keeping a close eye on all the welds. I also grease them every couple weeks, and spray the uniballs too.

I can't find these on eBay right now. Anyone have an idea why?

 

[truckhigh]

i couldn't find them too and my buddy got the ball joint camburg style. They don't give you the zerk fitting for the balljoint or the ball joint retainer clip either. emailed them and they said nobody had problems with them and i expect some diy'ers are gonna have a major issues if they don't resolve that. But, the sleeves were the right size and the $40 camburg Bj covers don't fit either.

 

[swapmeet]

Bumping this up. I just emailed the seller who the OP listed the link for.

I have a feeling I know what happened, but we'll see what they say.

Just screw a zerk fitting into the ball joint. Pick them up at local car parts store or amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BXKZ88/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Why would you need a BJ cover? I can see why someone would want a cover for uniballs but not really necessary for balljoints.

I installed them for my friend and letting people know beforehand keeps repeat threads. It Also saves people a trip to the store and waitig for them to send the wrong zerks a week later. He wanted them and I thought it would fit but the caps need to be sanded down to fit. The oem arms the bj is flush on top and doesn't trap water. The camburg bj arms have a cup that will hold water/dirt/salt its up to you if that doesn't bother you.
