Whiteline Upper Control Arms

[Zhehan]

Hey All,

Whiteline came up in some other conversations this week. And, while I was on the site, I noticed they're making UCAs for quite a brands and models. They make several versions for Toyota vehicles, but none for the 3rd Gen 4Runners. The arms they do make have some unique properties absent from the other manufacturer's UCAs.

Here's a set for the 2005-23 Tacoma: Control arm - front upper – Whiteline USA

Here's a set for the 2003-18 GX470/4Runner: Control arm - upper arm –Whiteline USA

There are several others for various years and models.

Here's the skinny on the GIIRO bushings: The GIIRO Bushing | Clayton Offroad

I reached out and mentioned that the 3rd Gen T4R/6 Lug 1st Gen Tacoma's weren't represented in their product line and asked if they had any plans to make some. They responded that there were currently no plans to make them. I told them that there is a large, passionate owner base that would probably be interested in a set if they chose to to make them.

Maybe some other folks might want to ask about these?

Anyway, that's my PSA for the day.

Cheers

Interesting...
At first glance they look very similar in design to the Rokmen Enduro Bushings they used in their trailing arms.
Which did work well for some time, but eventually wallowed out, prompting my search for a new solution (Opt?!)
In a UCA situation however, I feel those bushing should last longer due to much less torsional twist.

If you're still looking for new rear lower links, and in case you haven't seen the thread I posted, here it is: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/314913-rear-link-choices.html#post3845388

Check Superpro and Nolathane, they share the same parent company. What Whiteline should get into is front diff bushings.
