Upper Control Arms

I am looking to replace the upper control arms on my 4runner with something that has a uniball joint in it. I have been looking around on the internet and found some from All-Pro and Total Chaos. I thought at one time that Camburg also made some, not sure if they still do.

Anyone know of any other brands? Anyone have any experience with the uniball arms or any suggestions?

thanks

the name problly is what adds 200, and as far as i remember they all seem to sell for around $500. thats still to much for me. if i had that much money plus the cost of the srings and stuff i would just buy SAS or long travel.

Very little difference in the TC and camburg UCA. Uniball upper control arm is the way to go. Willl last longer and is stronger than stock upper ball joint.

And warpig, where can you get these 500 dollar long travel/ SAS kits?? I really want to get them.

no i mean with the cost of springs and everything combind for the front suspension. the front alone for non long travel can add up to over $1000 depending on parts so i figure just go SAS or LT. but thats my opinion.

I went with Light Racing for my 07 Tacoma. Adjustable and work well to bring back to factory specs after a lift.

Just got the new camburg arms on my wife got the pleasure of getting the new tires today. The arms look like they are going to work out pretty awesome. Pretty excited about the new tires today. Finally got around to some much needed TLC: new lower ball joints, tie rod ends, camburgs, tires, and a storage platform in the cargo area. Its going to be a fun summer.
