Possibly a much cheaper substitution to Camburg/Icon Uniball Control Arms?

I agree that lower section looks like it's missing . That's all it came with. I don't see anything else in the add photo. I'll contact the seller tomorrow with this photo and see what's up. ( also that bolt loosened up that I referred to spinning . Re torqued . Need to re lock tite today. When I'm rebuilding my trailer hubs and suspension) always somethin .
Thanks for your input.

Never updated my experience with these. I got them along with the replacement kit from Offroad Warehouse, blasted them, painted them to match the tan trim, swapped in the new hardware, triflow lube once every two weeks, and haven't looked back. Truck rides like a dream and this is with a bumped 6" lift to 8" via full lift struts and a 2" spacer from autospring. Took it in for an alignment and it is dead on. Couldn't be happier with my $500 investment.

Got mine installed and have around 800mi now. I'm getting an alignment tomorrow since I swapped out the lower balljoints and tierods at the same time.

Bad news, Drivers side UCA has already lost it's teflon lining and has some play. I'm parking the truck in a week so I'm not too worried about it, but have to reiterate.
Buy replacement uniballs immediately!!!

The reason these are so cheap is that they skimp on the uniballs and it's a crapshoot on how long they'll last.

Awesome looking truck bro! I noticed that in your build thread there is a better picture of your UCA's but even in the picture you posted on this thread it looks like they are the cheaper ones. I no nothing about these though so not saying they are, just saw you bought them used and they don't really look the same as other camburg, especially the support on the tower mounts.

Any more updates on these eBay upper control arms.

I helped a couple buddies put total chaos upper control arms on there tacomas and they felt awesome.

Just can't justify the $1000 Canadian for them.
eBay's for $250 plus $80 shipping look decent minus this Kevlar issue.
