Default Front Lower Control Arm-'95 SC400

Looking to rebuild my front suspension, was going to burn out the bushings of my LCA's and replace with some poly. Thought I might as well replace the ball joints, come to realize they are integrated..

After searching around found that people had used Supra LCA's instead (at a discount) but now it looks like to get a LCA it is going to cost $600-$800 a piece? Any less expensive alternatives out there that I am missing?

All I can find are upper, not a single lower aftermarket. Thanks!

Yeah there used to be a supplier on ebay called ToyoLex that offered a pretty good aftermarket replacement but they are no longer there. McGeorge Toyota seems to be the best price at $486 for these arms from Toyota. Link here: McGeorge Toyota Supra Arms

I have been looking at this fabricated set, might be a decent alternative. Link: P2M Lower Control Arms. There is another set I have looked at that are fabricated but I can't find them at the moment.

I have been meaning to get back on the trail of finding a similar size/taper/length replaceable ball joint and have a couple of arms modified at a machine shop but too many other priorities. I think that is now going to be the way to go since the market is gone for the supra arms and the aftermarket ones. Somebody on here found a matching taper/shank from a Tacoma or 4 Runner that I was going to try, but now I can't find that link either.

Thanks for the input RX, would be interesting to find out more about the Tacoma or 4runner. I found a set for $499.00 from Bell Raceworks, which would allow me to buy a replaceable ball joint.

Does anyone have experience with the Raceworks LCA? Could only find a video on youtube of someone who installed them. Are the Raceworks more for a daily driver? (that is my goal)

I would think as long as the arm has rubber bushings you would be good for a daily driver.

I got the Bell raceworks lower control arms. They have a bracket that makes the ball joint replaceable /w a moog part (or other). They are under $500.
