Lower ball joint

[nissanh]

planning to install OEM front lower ball joints.
Found the following.

Am I looking at the right part (number 13) for my 97 4x4 SR5?
Right and left sides are at $ 85.93 and $78.17 respectively

1997 Toyota 4Runner Parts - Camelback Toyota Parts - Genuine OEM Parts - Free Shipping

Also they have free shipping for anything above $150...

Yes, thats the right part.(s)

 

[nissanh]

Thanks... I'll buy those.

Nothing but good compliments from me as well with using camelback.

Btw if you plan to do LBJs consider outer tie rods and possibly inners as well. I did LBJs and OTRs for the ease of installation.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check the tie rod ends.
How about getting the sway bar bushings at the same time? Would replacing those make any notable improvements in handling?

If their are flattened and cracking then you can change them if you'd like as well. Lots mention a slight improvement in handling with sway bar bushing changed as well as the end link bushings. They don't cost much to change and id do them if your old bushings are cracking.
