Lower ball joints/part numbers

No clue! But I'd err on the side of caution. I'm curious what the difference is now. If you flip back to the earlier pages of this thread to look at that bolt part number, you'll see another member who had issues with that bolt being too skinny, so clearly there's something going on with bolt hole sizes ...

 

@__YG__ if you order the part numbers that seem to match your truck please post pictures of the parts, as well as the part numbers indicated on the box/bag and see if they are the same.

 

It's also curious because, unless something is wrong in the documentation, I had the numbers taken from the recall doc as:

• Late '04 - '06
• Early '02 - '03
• Early '01 - '02

If those years are accurate, then '04+ has to be the same joint, I think? Unless they're custom-boxing things based on the VIN at McGeorge? That'd be wild.

If those year ranges are wrong, I need to update my reply on the 1st page. I did just put a big disclaimer in my 1st reply on this thread to urge folks to look up their part numbers directly.

 

So if I understand correctly, my truck has the same ball joints as the 04 since its an early 05?

 

That's what I'm thinking. I'd need to run an '04 truck's VIN thru EPC to say with 110% certainy, "yep!"

 

Mines a later 04 and this is what I just put on from Ourisman if that helps.

 

I cant seem to find the part numbers you sent, I wonder if these are what Im looking for, LH 43340-39595 & RH 43330-39825 ?
When you look up the part numbers I just mentioned on autoparts.toyota.com the other part numbers are listed as previous versions.

what are your thoughts?

 

Ah, only now seeing this response, so maybe that is what I need as well then

 

The part numbers in the picture you quoted, those are what the EPC-DATA site gives me when directly inputting your specific VIN, 2005 AC in V8/4WD.

But the parts Bubba is showing pics of, those are identical to what I ordered for my '06 AC in V8/4WD.

Which is correct, the one EPC data gives for your truck, or what Bubba ordered for his '04 and I ordered for my '06? Not sure, but you can always check compatibility in the Toyota Parts system by giving your VIN and noting what Toyota says is compatible. Unfortunately ... see the result of that below.

I would find it VERY strange Toyota would list a recall kit for '04-'06 truck year range specifically, but somehow have different LBJ part numbers for the three of our trucks... Just sayin'.

But really. You have four part numbers - the ones Bubba and I used, and the ones EPC spit out for your VIN - use the links in this reply to load up one of the part numbers Bubba and I used, then click the "ENTER YOUR VIN" to check compatibility. Is it compatible with your VIN in their system?

​

When I did it using your VIN, this is what I saw...

(But I saw the same with the EPC part numbers too!!! It makes no sense!)

​

 

Im beyond confused lol

This is what I was referring to though
The parts I was searching for are listed as previous versions under this part. But when I put in my VIN it also says may not fit, although Im not sure how accurate that is.

 

That's typical. Toyota changes part numbers, i.e. supercessions (or whatever they call it). But I don't see our '06 part numbers in the supercession list.

 

The part number at the top is the one bubba used (39595) and the previous versions list the ones you picked out with my vin 39515, 39575

might be the correct part still not sure though…

 

Ah. Well. That would explain it then

Yeah, this solves the riddle. I didn't look at the supercessions to realize they were the same part, but one is a future revision. Looks like they were jumping up by 20s on the last three digits of part numbers

i.e. 495 + 20 = 515, 515 +20 +20 +20 = 575, 575 + 20 = 595.

 

Ah true didnt catch that.

So in conclusion we thinking LH 43340-39595, RH 43330-39825, Bolt 90080-10066 are the correct ones?
Is that the bolt you used as well @BubbaW ?

 

Correct

 

Update:
Got the parts and went to install one of the ball joints today, Bolts do not fit...
From what I can find online it seems like those are the ones that should fit, they are however too small.

Re-used the old bolts for now would like to figure out the correct bolts and switch those out tho... any other suggestions where I can look up part numbers?
I remember reading something somewhere about someone else on the forum having issues with the bolt sizing, cant find it though.

 

About to order Bj's and bolts for my 2000 Tundra, Don't need the ARP bolts does everything in my cart here work? Making sure I didn't read something wrong in all these ball joint threads.

 

Yup. Those are the same parts numbers I installed.

 

Sweet thanks brotha! Where did you order from?

Big bolt is 9010512316 small bolt is 90080-10066 that you ordered.
@BubbaW are you sure you ordered small bolts previously for your 04?

 

Couldn't find receipt but this is my entry in the Parts ordered spreadsheet I use for Ourisman purchases. Seems I was mistaken earlier and did use the longer bolts, sorry YG.

 

Our Used Car Manager has an 06 DC. He just came to me and said, "What were those things under my truck that you said I should replace?" I made him a parts list.

Left Lower Ball Joint Assembly: 43340-39595 x1

Right Lower Ball Joint Assembly: 43340-39825 x1

Flange Bolts: 90105-12316 x8

 

I just did my lower ball joints. I've got a late 2004 AC.
I bought the kit part no. 04006-62134 (kit came with 2 castle nuts and 4 cotter pins)
And the bolts part no. 90105-12316
Everything was an exact match.

Make sure you have a torch nearby when you do them because mine were seized together.

 

Since I don't know if anyone installed AM ball joints I'm looking to replace even though front end tech who replaced tie rods said they checked good.
2006 Limited. 4x4.
What dealer is that one from?
Found one at $155 each.

I'm also trying to get new bolts, dust covers, boots etc.
I did find, 90080-10066 coming up as flange bolt that appears to be number for the ball joints bolts on mine by dealer website.

Any idea what the difference is between those part numbers on bolts?

It's really pretty frustrating this has to be so complicated. I've been driving on a set of Detroit Axle 10yr warrantee LBJs for the past 5 years and 20k miles. They feel solid, but I'm going to road trip to Flagstaff and back later this summer and just want the piece of mind the OEM LBJs will give me. Anyways, I've got an '05 DC SR5. Do these part numbers look right?

 

I've got a 2005 DC and saved some cash by getting the LBJ kit from Ourisman Toyota. Here's my receipt. Good call taking care of that repair with factory OEM LBJs. Cotter pins are included with the kit.

 

Thanks, Brother. Ordering now. Saved me $100.

For anyone keeping track, I was $248.25 out the door.

 

If you’re ordering the kit, note it doesn’t come with the castle nut. If you order the joint assembly, it does.

If in good shape, I’d be cool with re-using the castle. But I would surely install a fresh cotter, which I’m pretty sure the kit does supply (joint + cotter + boot?) for our later year trucks.
