About this product
Those Johnny Joints are tough, but (like almost everything else on an off-road vehicle) they are a "wear item" and won't last forever. But, one of the great things about Johnny Joints is that they are serviceable! Maintenance is key! Get yourself some rebuild kits and a tube of fresh grease, along with an assembly tool while you're at it. Complete new joints are available as well.
Compatibility: 4th and 5th Gen (03+) 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, GX470, and GX460 UPPER arm only. If you are rebuilding one of our other rear arm kits, use the specific pages in this collection. Thank you!
Note: Opt Offroad Rear Adjustable Upper Control Arms are equipped with narrow body joints on both end. Rebuild kits will include the necessary components to rebuild/replace all four joints accordingly. If you want to rebuild/replace less than all four joints, please contact us and we will help you directly!
