suspension Gurus needed.. please see inside
So, I am in need of some new rear suspension components and I am aware the toe arms and traction arms can be used from a Supra on the SC rear subframe but can I get confirmation on the rear lower control arm?
I need to change these due to fused camber adj bolts..
Worst case scenario, sawzall'ing the camber adj bolts and pressing out the old bushing and installing new poly bushings and camber adj bolts...

I was thinking the same thing, but the research I came across stated the rear subframe on the Supra is different then the SC.. So....
Thats the plan, however the chassis has almost 200K miles and the ball joint is a concern.. but only time will tell..
Any more input would be appreciated..

Rear control arms with balljoints are only from Lexus I paid $1800 with a discount. The rear upper control arms are $500 each.
The large control is $340 and the small is $107. I bought new bolts, washers and nuts. All my bushings/bolts are frozen. Sawzall with a diamond-Grit blade did 3 cuts, then used various blades. I'm not done. Need more blades. I'm trying Diablo 9" Carbide blade next. The smaller control arm takes a shorter camber bolt.
The last will be the upper control arms. To do this one I should drop the rear subframe. I cannot even get a 1/2" ratchet to turn-no clearance. The Torque on this bolt is 196 ft.lb.
