Tundra Control arms fit 3rd gen

New to the forum!
Needing new UCAs on the 96 4runner.
curious as to whether any of you guys have successfully swapped tundra uppers onto 4runners

I’m sure the lowers won’t, different bj setup. Should be the same geometry. Why?

 

[97t4r81]

Aftermarket upper a arms give more adjustable and sometimes built better. Or just new 4runner arms. Are yours bent or just need bushings?

I think they are different. They might fit but they aren't the same part. Could be worth looking into if you have parts available to test it out.

As far as I know they share the same spindle with the Tacos and 4Runner but as far as the control arms go, I doubt they are the same geometry with length and mounting points. Usually you can tell by looking at aftermarket options. TC UCA’s fit 95.5-04 Tacos and 96-02 4Runners, but Tundras aren’t listed as compatible.

Need ubj and bushings and I’ve seen some TC on marketplace for a 1st gen for 400 bucks
Thought it might be a worth while swap if I could make it work

Bushings and ball joints need replaced, seein if I can just get the whole assembly to save some time.

Stay with 4Runner stuff, aftermarket or stock. Some legos don’t fit easy
