Default Ball joints and LCA bushings

I installed new Daizan LCA bushings 3-4 years ago with decent results but buying new Supra TT LCA arms is the best solution for most people in your situation. They bolt right on, Cost less, and include fresh LCA bushings and ball joints, boom your done. $220 from Toyota(possibly more these days) but do this and your done (plus labor of course) .....BTW if you are thinking about a coilover, lowering springs upgrade etc this is a great time to do it.

Right, like Aurora bearing company. They make some slick ball-bearing and spherical bearing stuff!
