Quick ?: control arm years of compatibility
Hi
Easy question for the gurus: are lower control arms compatible only from 89-95, for my '93? Doing my brake job there last week, I noticed a bunch of crustiness and would at least like to see my pass. side one get changed out in the spring. My buddy has one, from I think an '86, so that would only mean bushings & ball joint rather than the $200+ package....
Thanks!

Car-part.com says 86-89 aren't interchangeable with 90-95. I trust what they say on it, it's their business to know these things. They've been 100% accurate so far with all the parts I've bought from their dealers.

I found a bunch of different part numbers for them, which seemed to point to the change being from 89-95 instead of 90-95 for PUs and 4Runners.
But when I looked on car-part.com, they break them up into 86-89 and 90-95 for PUs and 4Runners. And 93-98 for T100s, which they state to be interchangeable with 90-95 PU/4Runner too.
I don't know how the swaybars hookup on the rest, but on my 88 they're straight from the swaybar to the LCA.

O.k., I think I get the swaybar thing now atleast. All 85/08-95/01 PUs and 85/08-89/08 4Runners all use the straight type link between the swaybar and LCA. Only the 89/08-95/01 4Runners use the 90° joint on the swaybar ends of the links.
Like shown here...
And here...
The 92/08-97/03 T100s use a different straight type link. Like so...
I still don't get how any of the 86-95 PU/4Runner/93-98 T100 LCAs are different/non-interchangeable though. They should all be interchangeable...in theory. Huh...what am I missing here I wonder???
