Question on LBJ 08 Tundra

Well, my states safety inspection thats required to get it plated found some need repairs. They ALWAYS find something. I was going to do most of this anyways so the timeline just got forced up. They said I need;

Left side LBJ
Both Sides - Outer Control Arm.

I'll just change the sway bar end links while I'm there as all these parts are original stock parts with 208,000 and I plan to keep this truck forever.

From what my search on here showed, Toyota sells the LBJ as part of the lower control arm, correct? I think this would negate the need to borrow or buy a press for the LBJ. I like to use OEM parts when I can, like with my 01 Sequoia, is this tundra the same? If there are any aftermarket parts that are just as good or better, ideally for less, I'd appreciate your recommendation.

 

You're correct, the LBJ is integral to the control arm when sold by Toyota.

LBJs are available as separate items aftermarket, including a Napa part that appears to be OEM supplier.

 

Thanks for the reply. Any more info on the Napa part? I have them and Oriellys within 20 minutes of my house.

 

Supposedly the Napa brand will have Sankie 555 on them, which is an OEM Toyota supplier. I learned this after installing a Moog on my '07.

 

Awesome, thank you.
