Description:
Whiteline bushings breathe new life into your tired factory lower control arm bushings. Using their expertise in polyurethane bushings, they have developed a lower control arm bushing that easily replaces a factory bonded bushing with a great performance upgrade. Their unique design eliminates suspension stiction, freeing up wheel travel, and tightens the road feel while maintaining a quiet ride and near stock levels of vibration isolation. Unlike traditional urethane bushings which squeak over time, and require the factory bushing shells to be left in place with the rubber is torched out, these Whiteline bushings install as simply as an OEM replacement using common shop tools like a bottle jack and hydraulic press. These also represent a great upgrade for those looking for the increased travel benefits of an aftermarket lower arm, without the hefty price tag; they are a great item to add to your mid-travel build out. When these IFS Toyotas are lifted, with mid travel coil overs and upper arms added, the factory bushings are quickly pushed beyond their working limits and tear. This is especially common on higher mileage vehicles where the factory bushing is already near the end of its life. These bushings are compatible with the factory alignment cams, and the factory range of alignment adjustment is retained.

Really the best mod for any suspension setup as it allows free movement as opposed to the stock as he demonstrated. Putting trick suspension on with stock LCA/UCA bushings is only a partial upgrade.
So do you use the stock camber and caster bolts with these bushings or do you need different ones. because those bolts and plates don't look OEM at all
Awesome explanation
Need this upgrade
What happened to cam bolt?
This truck has our Taco Tabs cam bolt eliminator kit. Its a great upgrade for rigs that get abused and constantly need alignment.
@PolyPerformance I've read in some comments and someone asked if we need to new aftermarket camber bolts with the white lines and I was curious if I can still use the stock ones?
Had a bit of an odd thought for these- ... could I trim the outsides of the bushings when I install them to push the control arm forward some? (trim the "fronts") and add some washers to take up the gap? I have the bushings ready to go :D If that would work, I may start prepping old arms and doing the work to replace them.
I'm assuming the issue is the potential for noise/wear with metal on metal where it interfaces with the mount tabs?
It is an interesting idea, but we would not recommend doing this. It will almost certainly lead to excess bushing wear. If you are keen on moving the tires forward, some people have used our Taco Tabs in an offset position to push the lower arm forward a bit. However, we recommend having adjustable UCAs if you do this to maintain proper alignment.
Would you recommend Whiteline bushings on a GX470? I’d like a firm but smooth ride similar to when it was new.
Yes they are perfect for bringing the firm feel back if your stock bushings are worn out.
What kind of maintenance are you doing for this type of bushings? Any greasing after some time or miles?
Maintenance free!

I've already had to replace one LCA on our '17 Tacoma due to a bad ball joint. Can these be pressed out of existing arms and reinstalled in new ones, if that were to happen again?And will they work on 3rd gen Tacomas?
Did you ever get a answer
Yes you can press them in to and put of control arms
Do these bushings need regularly greased? Im trying to install zerk fittings cause Ive heard that they do, but would I need to drill through the outer-metal sleeve on the bushing itself?
These bushings come with their own molybdenum disulphide grease, but since the bushing is a complete unit that uses a inner sleeve they do not need to be regularly lubricated like traditional bushings halves do.
Bonded rubber bushings dont have stiction..
Are these compatible with the 2016 4Runner?
No unfortunately that gen uses a different bushing size.
