Default rear toe link question

So I purchased all of the rear arms used for my 94 due to all of my eccentrics being seized and my upper ball joints having play. When I had opened the box I noticed something different about the toe links. I purchased them used through ebay, whats with the little sway link lookin thing? are these actually for a ucf1x? the auction had said all the arms were for 90-94, all of the other arms match up to pictures i've seen of the other arms except for this one, is it for a ucf2x?









forgive me for the bad pictures, if better ones are needed I can take them when I get home from work tonight

i own a UCF20 and do not have this link on my toe arms. this may be for the auto-leveling headlights in UCF20.5 cars (99-00) with OEM HID lights.

as for fitting properly, i would assume they would fit just the same but i am not certain. wait for the UCF10 gurus to chime in.

Yeah that seems to be the auto leveling sensor. You should just be able to detach it and be good.

compare it to stock, could have been a ride height sensor (ALL '95-00 Air suspension cars had them, as well as all '98-00 HID Headlight cars). NOT interchangeable onto a 1st gen though.

If it matches up to your stock arms, it COULD have been an arm from an air suspension'd UCF1x? Not sure if those had ride height sensors, though I would think so?

does anyone know if the rear toe links from battle version that fit the ucf20s would work on the ucf10s? I looked up the stock part numbers in the books we have at work and they're relativly close, my toe is still too far out after adjusting the cam bolts to their max

ucf10 part #:
RH: 48710-50010 w/o air
LH: 48710-50010 w/o air

ucf20 part #:
RH: 48710-50030 w/o air
LH: 48710-50030 w/o air

I wonder if it is just an updated part number when they switched models, the only difference is that 3 in the ucf20 part numbers, they look identical in the pictures, has anyone tried to fit them?

lol part numbers being close doesn't mean anything. Lexus names all their parts in a similar way, and parts diagram visuals are rarely updated for aesthetic changes.

you'd need to compare side by side and measure. I wouldn't think so given the major suspension differences.
