Default Suspension arm overhaul

I'm looking to replace most/all of my control arms on the SC300.

I have been searching but I'm still a bit confused as to how many control arms the SC has. I come from the 240sx world.

I'm going to most likely be purchasing them from Advanced Auto, for just OE replacements.

AA always run deals where you can get up to 50% off an order, so why not.

Thus far, i'm not sure if i covered all the control arms.

from what i've gathered-

Front upper control arm
front lower control arm
rear lower control arm
front tie rods and tie rod ends
sway bar end links

((Rear traction/toe/camber arm???))

Has anyone else bought suspension arms from Advanced auto or any other parts store... and happened to have the part # for them? It would help lots.

In the front you can replace the LCA (most common item to replace), UCA, Inner and outer tie rod ends, and sway bar endlinks like you listed.

In the rear there is the LCA that the shock mounts to, UCA, traction rod, toe link, and rear sway bar endlinks.

looks like the front lower control arms aren't produced like the front upper control arm is.
