are all the front control arms interchangeable between 92-00 SC's? 300 and 400? also including mk4 supras?

the left and right side are specific right?

 

reason i ask is my mechanic says a 98-00 is different than the 97 under... that the two models won't fit each other...???

 

the supra lca and upper ca will fit i suggest getting supra as there alot cheaper then the oem lexus part im running supra Lca right now on my ride

 

does it matter if its supra non turbo or supra TT?

 

supra control are cheaper the lexus. supra control arms have solid rubber bushings while lexus ones are not to make for a very soft, couch-like ride.

supra control arms before 97 were steel. after that they were aluminum. they are also more expensive.

all upper control arms are the same.

all sc control arms are interchangeable.

please do a search next time. this has all been covered before

 

lexus wants $500
Toyota wants $300 for the lower control arms. just ask for a 94 supra turbo and tell them u dont have the vin and you dont need a stupid vin there just to lazy to do it any other waywost case scenario get on from ebay,.. i work at a toyota dealership and they still do it to me

 

if your ball joints are still good i can replace your bushings without having to spend an arm and leg on new control arms. i have an extra set of daizen(aka prothane) bushings just laying around. brand new in the box

 

You can buy the front lower control arm here for USD$230 each from here:

I bought 2 front control arms from them when they had on special for USD$199!

Toyota Australia selling the new front LCA each for AUD$1200!

 

Oh yer if you decided to do the bushes for the Front LCA, make sure to check the ball joints.

I had changed the Front LCA bushes and after three months, the right hand side front ball joint is worn out!

So i decided to change the front LCA with new ones.

 

I'm about the tackle the bushing swap job... I'll let you know how it feels afterward.

 

I'm looking into the LCAs myself and have been reading the many threads on bushings and such. It seems that by the time you buy bushings and ball joints that would you be near the cost of the whole Supra arm ($230), correct?

I've had car for two months (92 SC400), so I'm still getting used to it, but when I had it inspected, LCAs were on the list and I feel the drift when I drive. I would think it makes sense to start fresh with the whole arm.

Is that about right or am I missing something? The mechanics here were trying to screw me when I did my Audi arms so I wanna make sure I'm on point.

Thanks
