Default Rear Upper Control Arms

The ball joints on my rear upper control arms (RUCA) are worn out and I believe they are the cause of a vibration from the rear so I want to replace them. I have been looking around and I can't find any replacement arms. I replaced the front upper control arms with SPC adjustable arms so I would like to find something adjustable for the rear too. I have seen RUCA for the 2GS, is it possible that they will fit the 1GS? Thanks for any info in advance!

supra JZA80 upper adjustables will work, or SC300. but 2gs will not.

Rear Control arms are expensive. I've been down that road before with my 1GS. I replaced all the bushings in my rear suspension instead of replacing the arm.

I was just going to replace the bushings but I realized that the ball joint itself it worn and loose.

I just found a post by some guy here who needed some RUCAs for the 1GS. The 1GS and 2GS are different. Here is the link I found:
