Lower ball joint on IFS needs replacement. Toyota will only sell entire arm. Am I right to think that 555 ball joints would be fitted to that arm anyway? In terms of longevity, is 555 OEM the best option available in Australia? I am sceptical about https://www.the4wdshed.com/lower-ball-joint-toyota-landcruiser-100-series-lh-rh-BJ8620 pushed by 4WD shops as being superior to OEM and Japanese steel. I am not even sure it is not covered in paint, which would be a bad idea for the place where it must be very tight contact between surfaces.
I would consider changing entire arm, but would I make to wheels alignment after such feat since everything will be out of whack. Besides, I do not hear any disturbing noises when driving. The vehicle is inching towards 400,000km on a regular road and no record of bushes changes.
