    Hello all,

    Noticed my lbj are leaking after installing new suspension. Figured it might be time to just replace the lower control arms instead of messing with rust and pressing out the old ball joint. Any recommendations on some solid replacements besides oem? Thanks!

    Actual "leak" or seep?

    Itll be fine, mine have seeped for the past 70k miles. I'll get around to replacing the lcas eventually.

    Seeping.

    I know on older Tundras and sequoias, there were catastrophic ball joint failure so I wanted to be on the safe side and replace them entirely. But it seems as though the newer types aren’t prone to breaking as much. Thank you
