been using 555 upper and lower ball joints all year without issue so far.
They appear to be as good as the OEM ones, but we'll see. As long as they don't wear out 3x faster, it's savings in my pocket without restoring to buying chisesium grade parts.
Ball joints immediately. 555's or OEM.
The brand three five, or 555 makes very high quality ball joints and is, or at least was, the oe maker for Toyota. They are Japanese made and very nice.
i went 555 for my tie rods. if you can find em, 555 is the answer for most things up front.
I bought a set of 555s in the end. They’re exactly the same size as old OEM, so when I went in for an alignment after installation, the techs were a bit confused why I was even there - turns out the car was already aligned :)
I got 555 for my 06 same exact size and fit plus comes with an optional grease fitting in case they are punctured or ripped. they are great except for the fact they need to be painted/coated to prevent rust.
555 is a Japanese brand that makes high quality replacement tie rods, if needed. Comparable or better quality than OEM. I have them on my Lexus GX470
it's a 23mm tie rod in both right and left threads, by 555, no jam nut included, it shows fitment for other years as well but i've never done that... yes there is no grease zert
I regret putting 555 on mine some years ago, wish I'd known that they weren't oem when I ordered them. For the diff in price it's a no brainer to go oem (the lesson I learned).
555 lasted less that 40k on a street rig... Completely sloppy and loose. These were actually AC Delco Branded, but stamped 555 on the other side. They look exactly like other 555 ball joints I have seen.
