i just bought my lex sc 400, its my first lexus with a snapped rear axle and a broken right upper control arm...im having a hard enough time finding one, is it possible to interchange one from other lexus models?

 

a supra [mkiv] rear end? or soarer, sc300, sc400 models i believe will only work. Or you might have to change your whole end for the supra one.

 

 

i have extra axles. came out of a 93 sc400 with 70k. i pretty much have the whole rear subframe. control arms, brakes, diff and all.

 

Does any one have any tips on removing a rear lower strut arm? I've disconnected all the bolts but I am unable to break the last bolt(the one connected to the free moving joint) free. I've searched all over these forums and was unable to find anything.

 

You mean the ball joint?

 

if you do mean the ball joint, don't waste your time with the pickel forks (they don't work)

Snap on makes a ball joint tool that makes ball joints cake (I worked on the wifes Audi ball joints for days with pickel forks, then bought this and had them out in minutes)

doesn't need to be snap on brand, this looks like a decent setup

 

i just go it from the dealership, was too hard finding parts in hawaii. cost like $500.

Peace out
