Lower control arms

[duffdog]

Where do I get these urethane inserts? I wanted to change the whole LCA becuase I heard the ball joint is a paint to remove.

Also, with regards to the lower ball joint. Is it truly a pain to remove? Ball joint removers are cheap and easy to use, it might take you 30 minutes to do both of them with the right tool.

I put the LCAs on my 2005 SR5 (150,000) a few years ago. They came with two bushings, and the mechanic at the Alignment shop said I should get them. Ours were AM, and worked great. Check out sway bars too... they are cheap and easy to find.

AM? Also, how are they holding up these days? Bushings still in tact?

Go OEM for LCAs. Lots of threads on problems with aftermarket.

Zero issues here with after market, after 2 years and to many trails to list I havent had a single issue.

got new OEM LCA's and new hardware, used 20k mile UCA's

I still have my first car since 96, so I know when I'll be keeping something and want to get another 300,000 miles out of this 4R. Got OEM LCA's for right at $600 for the pair, and picked up used 2017 UCA's for $100. Hardware for lower and upper was right at $175. Hopefully I can find some TP to trade a tech for an alignment like I did for an O2 sensor install Wednesday...haha. Anyone want to buy my old LCA's???
