Good answer thanks for trying and replying. Steve with the front upper ball joints you can buy them in singles from a SUV parts supplier in the USA for 30dollars each. Just don't ask me the name of the firm as it was like on page 23 of a google search but someone on hear might have found them. I can remember they had a brightly coloured website with a truck in each of the top corners. They also done a lot of modifying on their website as showing some trucks with super charger fitted along with chrome and coloured hoses etc. I think it was the only part they listed on thier website for the Lexus so they found out there was a cross over on a part.

Anyone else got any idea on what other model these ball joints are off or ay other supllier? Anyone friendly with someone in a Lexus dealership in the US who could cross reference the part with another Lexus model. Jusy don't be afraid to ask. Thanks.

Mine are toast aswell as sitting on my desk. Just can't anyone who's matched them up to another Lexus model or early toyota model like hilux. The truth is Toyota(Car Manufacturer's) don't make ball joints just for one model as it's not cost effective and always end up using that part off another model, Just comes with different part number. Looks like I'm forced into buying top dealer price for some new ones.

Yes they have them attached to the suspension arm on top that looks like a big Y shape. Symptoms = That's easy as the joint is sitting on my desk knacked. With play in this part the car won't feel soild while cornering at speed as the rear suspension moves around effecting the wheel postion due to the play. Gets worse while cornering under load with the more play you have. I know the bushes are fine as got poly bushes all round.

Can't believe the good old USA with it's size and population have not come across this before. Must be all those straight roads out there which stop them breaking. Anyone?

UCF11 Rear upper ball joint replacement options. Is there a direct replacement ball joint that is available for this part in the US? Tried ebay and google and only found front ball joints listed anywhere but someone must have replaced this item at some point in the cars life. Anybody know of another car model that fits like a Toyota model or another Lexus model. If anybody knows of a US store that sells them then feel free to let me know. UK prices are nearly the cost of the car for a pair of main dealer ones.
