I circle four roundabouts on my way to work. They highlight how muchmassive body roll my Tundrahas. On top of that, I’ve got a shimmy at highway speeds and some rebound issues at low speed. Clearly its time for a refresh.

I could just change out bushings and ball joints, but I don’t want to wasn’t time messing with presses. So, I’m preparing a refresh parts list.

Upper and lower control arms. 4 ball joints. Outer TRE’s. Sway bar links and bushings. Struts and coils. Alignment.

Full front suspension refresh. $500.

When I did suspension in my minivan, the struts where more than $500 for the parts, control arms are over $200 a piece (ball joints included, at least). Not fair, man.

That’s pretty damn cheap for parts. I’m guessing they’re not OEM?

Just finished doing this in an NA miata. Roughly $500 as well for front upper/lower control arms, sway bar links, tie rod ends, rear upper control arms and upper bushings. Alignment next week, springs and dampers later this year.
