Upper Control Arms Ball Joints - Destroyed

[Trunk Monkey]

The bushings on the upper and lower arms show as separate part numbers on the diagram. It's the ball joints on both that don't.

Good news the bushings are serviceable.

That thread has a link and tons of pics ! What more do you want?

Somebody could work up a nice Reader's Digest (Web Surfer's Digest) version of these ball joint threads and I'm sure it would find a place in the FAQ. Anyone ? Anyone?

And I say, if you read, do it in a British accent!

Has anyone used a aftermarket upper control arm like from Carquest? If yes, what is the part number?

How close is the Tundra upper ball joint to the 100 ?

Toyota Tundra Ball Joint & Tie Rod - Mevotech, Moog - 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000

Ebay listing for a set of upper ball joints for a LX470 - (B010132) is this a part # ?

I've previously seen the eBay listing for the upper LC100/LX470 ball joints, at $23ea delivered they seem cheap enough (like they should be), however I'd like to see some buy and fit them to see if they are correct!
I would actually like like to modify the arms a bit as well......... maybe some old arms first...........

Old thread, '
My LC is apart at Toyota getting a mess of parts, do the Upper Tundra Ball joints in fact work in the 100?

Anyone know a part number for Napa or the likes, mine is torn apart and sitting....

Tundra Upper Ball Joints do not work if anyone wanted to know...

Thank you Shane.

Are those uppers in the link Toyota or aftermarket ball joints? The advertisement says "Part Brand: OEM AFTER MARKET".

After market as Toyota does not offer them.

FWIW Shane, I now have 5k miles on the Ebay bushings and all is well. They are holding up and made a huge improvement over the worn joints that were there.

Hopefully you get it sorted, a torn down cruiser is no fun

I got my lowers slammed in and the uppers had no play, just the boots were cracked. So I replaced the boots and let it be. New lowers and in, BUT the steering is tight at low speed and have not got my head wrapped around that yet.

Stuff like this scares me, what would happen if they broke? Im sure that would be bad. Just makes me have to check more things on mine.
