That’s a different control arm in the vice then the one you removed from the vehicle.

Pro tip #1: don't work on a Taco that has been at the bottom of the ocean for 2 years..

[@pavelsimeonov4388]

a tip from Toyota FSMs - when pressing them in, always observe the notches on the new bushing to be at the same angle as the old ones.

I think the lower ball joint should be 112ft lbs. The upper one is 80 fl lbs

Wow that doesn't even look like the same control arm.

[@nassonkasonkomona6218]

So is there a need to do wheel alignment

[@zellous2928]
