Exclamation LCA's 1997 SC400 replace with supra LCA's?

my control arms **** the bed.... need help with my best option with control and saves money...
im looking to replace both sides on the lower control arms.

and yes ive read the posts but there arent any real specifics.
my last option would be to go with the oem LCA for the sc400

what year supra? and even if i do the the supra LCA's do i have to replace the bushings with Sc400 bushings too?

websites where i can get the control arms?

Thanks!

I would say look into the ones below but I do not believe these fit the '97.... Lists as '96 and below. Check out all of the other parts they list and you may find a combo that would work. Prices are relative.

I got both my LCA's from Curt at Elmhurst Toyota for $262/each. They are 1996 MKIV Supra LCA's and they WILL fit your 1997 SC400. You do NOT have to change any bushings.

Curt is an authorized vendor on supraforums.com. Do not ask him about Lexus parts as he will kindly tell you he is not a Lexus parts dealer. His shipping was very reasonable as well, something like $20-something to ship from Illinois to Texas.

Here is his page on SF. You'll need to call him direct to order if you go that route.

The previous model year LCA's will fit as long as you replace BOTH sides. The bushings between 92-96 and 97+ however are not interchangable.
All the MK4 arms will fit the sc and I believe the best prices were from Carson toyota? Not sure anymore

I need to do this also in the coming months. my buddy works at Nissan and his price was about 5 and change. I really wish these damn things were cheaper than they are.
