LCA/UCA Bushing replacement

Finally aiming to place the order on new suspension for the Tundy. Grabbing some Billy 4600 shocks, OME 884s coils, and BFG KO2 265/75/16s tires w/ the correct Tacoma isolaters.

Bushings is the main thing I need to replace during all the labor.

I understand OEM is the way to go always but seeing LCAs are floating around 80 a piece most sites thinking about alternatives
Currently sitting on some Nylon replacements but thinking about grabbing some aftermarket polyurethanes from Total Chaos just wondering if they work in stock application instead of long travel.

Aiming to get the most out of whatever I’m doing some if I need to OEM so be it. Ive heard good things about the strength of Nylon vs rubber or whatever else besides polys

Asking if these fit stock. Thanks

I replaced the upper and lower control arms several years ago with AcDeclco professional parts. They work great and are a lot easier than replacing the bushings.
Just something to consider, makes life easier.

 

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure these aren't made for OEM spec control arms. You might get them to work since a bushing is a bushing, but these are produced and designed for aftermarket arms first and foremost. I've heard good things about Whiteline Bushings personally on stock-style lower arms, have you considered those?

Not dinging on Total Chaos either, they sell great stuff. I have their steering rack bushings and would recommend them any day.

Also not that it matters, when my original bushings were shot I just bought new lower arms and it was stupid easy to swap them out. If you're quick, you can have new arms installed on both sides in less than 30 minutes while pressing bushings might take a little longer.

 

Siberian bushing also makes replacements that have been well reviewed, but I think they are hard to come by right now. I had to cut mine out so I replaced the whole LCA with moog, it's only been a few months, but they are fine so far. I was going to replace the UCA bushings, but couldn't figure out how to get them out so I gave up and went with moog. For the LCA you can fit a bottle jack in and try to push out the bushing, but it wouldn't fit the UCA.

Since you are lifting the truck a bit, I'd highly recommend splurging and getting aftermarket UCA's. Probably not absolutely necessary with the 2884, but the OME lifts can be a bit hit and miss with how much lift you get. I did 2885 on my 01 tundra and got almost 4 inches of lift out of them.
