I thought you were going to get your cousin or someone to do this for you? I'm not envious of you at this moment at all...

Haha well the bad part is i did get new arms (NOT OEM...) They put them in and I still had positive camber/screeching noises... got 3 local opinions and everyone of them says the aftermarket bushing are cheap $&@! . Soooo luckily advanced gave me full money return and I ordered some oem arms from Toyotapartsdeal.com for $60 more !
So I'm replacing them myself this time and cleaning parts real good as I go. All she needs now are the TRD coils [emoji39] [MENTION=118797]jpeaslee[/MENTION]

Haha, well the two cam eccentric bolts near the rack have to come out that way and there was no way what so ever I could remove them without breaking loose the rack and moving it back some (which was easy due to recently replacing steering rack bushings). All in all its not too hard just need devoted time. As far as moving the rack, watch the video on YouTube of TimmyThetoolman he has an excellent video doing this when he replaced his rack bushings.Why did you have to drop the steering rack to access the LCAs? You're worrying me because eventually I'll have to tackle mine

You can't get the LCA bolts out without unbolting the steering rack. The rack goes right up against them.

Man I killed 3 sawzall blades on just one frozen adjuster. What a pain!
I put an aftermarket arm on one side because I destroyed the rubber cutting out the above mentioned cam adjuster. It screwed my truck up so bad, any time I would hit the brakes, the truck would shoot left and the steering wheel would turn right. This is what I found:

I took that junk back and put an OEM bushing back in my old arm!

Yes! Mine would not align for nothing and would pull hard right when braking. Hope these new OEM arms fix it all!

Yeah those aftermarkets are worse than worn oem bushings. I installed polys. Still the best thing I've done to my truck. Solid now.

I have the same problem. I've replaced LBJs, ITREs, OTREs, coilovers, and steering rack bushings. I still have the original UBJs with 270k, so I'm not 100%. I think my problem is narrowed down to LCA bushings, maybe yours too.

Yeah mine would "align" but wouldn't hold it when it was put back on the ground.

It's a very good chance. Mine wasn't pulling all that bad with worn oem bushings. These after markets are terrible and causing the truck to pull hard right.

Even after proper alignment?
I swapped mine out for Poly bushes a few years back, it did feel sharper, (Compared to old factory fitted parts) but I've since decided to swap and get a brand new factory lower arm.
I think I'm going to replace the rear with factory too.
