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.

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.

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
