The rear suspension on the Taco is a leaf spring type. The 4Runner uses coil springs and 5 links.

I think the upper control arm in front is a little longer on the Taco too, maybe 1/8" or something, I seem to remember the ATS guy say something like that when I called to see about putting the Taco arms on my runner.

Gadget, 5 links?

EDIT: Scratch that, I just realized you included the Panhard.

Yep, 5 even when Toyota calls it a 4 link. I guess they can count. Maybe that is the same reason they do such a poor job with thier customer service.
