OEM Lower Ball Joint, can't order separately?

I’m sorry to create the millionth post on LBJs, but my question is:

Where can I go to order an OEM LBJs without ordering the entire LCA?

I called Toyota, gave them my vin and they told me I’d have to order the entire LCA. They don’t sell the LBJs separately which I think is pretty stupid.

I see that I can order them from ebay for $60-80. I’m 100% not doing that. In the meantime, I have ordered Moog LBJs but I’m just concerned about the reliability. I go primitive camping a couple times a year and some of the places I go are impossible for a recovery vehicle to get to.

Mine has not failed yet but they are leaking. My Tundra isn’t my DD. I’ve put 40k miles on it over the past 5 years.

The question still stands. It is alone AND afraid.

Where can I go to order an OEM LBJs without ordering the entire LCA?

That didn't answer my question but thanks. If I wanted to buy a LBJ from NAPA, I would have done that.

I also know how to search for it on the forums.

 

Good luck!

 

Free bump to 50!

 

Yet can't comprehend you answered your own question? You said you want OEM LBJ and called TOYOTA and they told you that you have to replace the whole LCA. There is your answer.

 

I've been running a Moog for the past year, no issues so far. I have saw reports of Napa having the "55" Japan (likely OEM) ones.

 

I was asking if you can buy a OEM LBJ but not directly from Toyota.

Similar to how you can buy an OEM radiator but not directly from a Toyota dealership.

A simple answer WAS needed. Posting a link to an old thread and the search function is a jackass move.

I look at the DTG of that post. 3 years ago, shit changes. Maybe what wasn't available then, is available now.

"No, you can only buy aftermarket LBJs" <--- you know something like that.
