Lower Ball Joint Anxiety Post

Sooooo what are we going to do with our first gen tundras when Toyota inevitably stops manufacturing OEM LBJs? I had this thought before I fell asleep last night and would love to hear y'alls thoughts.

 

Suck it up and pay $$$ for the fancy ones from Solo Motorsports.

 

This will be one of my major purchases soon.

The other thing to do is look at how much you drive and buy a set or four for spares. As long as they're making them now, buying a few sets means they'll keep making them. Until they don't...

 

$3,000 in parts for 2WD uniball conversion? Oofta. Requires their spindles to work.

 

If I was planning to drive my truck for another 100,000 miles (indeed I am!) I would go ahead and buy them now to save for when I need them.

 

Yep. Buy two sets and you're good for 200,000 miles. That oughta do it.

 

Yep, no need to make it more difficult than it is, and no need to make something out of nothing.

 

The same LBJs fit many other Toyo trucks of the era mid/upper 90s thru 00s (T100 Taco 4Runner Prado GX470 1st Gen Tundra) - they won't stop making those for decades.

 

Total Chaos uniball conversion is an alternative that works with stock suspension
