I saw the raybestos ball joint thread and decided to buy a pair to replace my old ones.
These things looks to be well made and in good quality

Right part number-5051306

I was told 555 is the actual company that makes the OEM parts for Toyota and other companies. Good stuff!

I thought the lower ball joints were different between 90-94 and 95-00. Those are the same ones I put on my 92.

I'm curious if those work for you. I looked on rockauto and the ones for a 95-00 look quite a bit different than those ones.

I would personally stay away from the beck/arnley ones. I don't know what brands are available for the 95+, but I have heard a lot of bad things about the beck/arnley, at least for the 1st gen LS. OEM is always a good way to go but it can be expensive sometimes.

'95-00 LBJ fit and work fine on '89-00, and are a necessity if you plan to upgrade to '95-00 big front brakes.

Looks like the 95-00 would work with the 89-94 but not the other way around since the 89-94 LBJ will hit the caliper on a 95-00

Yep, that's exactly why.

Another thing 1LS owners can do is use a roll center adapter/space to raise the spindle and give the caliper some clearance, but that's more money than just buying 2LS LBJs.
