Whiteline Lower Control Arm Bushing Tutorial (120+ Pictures)

[phatcheeks]

I just completed this mod using the 555 LBJ. Quick question. I have a little gap where the c-lip locks the lbj in place. Is this normal?

First of all, thank you for the amazingly detailed writeup! This is my first post on t4r as I'm about to take on this project on my 03 4runner. I would love an update on if you're still happy with the whiteline bushings? How do you feel that they have held up, are you still running on them ~4 years later? Same questions for the ball joints too I'm between some moog bushings on rockauto and your linked whiteline ones. Thanks!

Yes I am still very satisfied with the Whiteline bushings! The import direct ball joints appear to be holding up well too, although the last time I got in to shake everything was summer time. The 4runner now has ~258k and they were installed around 208k iirc, so its been 50k issue free miles!
