Supra LCA. Will I notice a Difference?
I drive a 93 sc300. I am about to replace my driver side LCA with a supra LCA due to a bad ball joint, but i do not intend on doing the same on the passenger side.
Will this affect handling in any negative way?
I already replaced the bushings on both sides, so there is no reason for me to do the passenger side.
Thanks

depends on what kind of bushings are in the passenger side.
if you installed polyurethane bushings originally in both, and you swap one of the whole arms out for a supra unit with oem bushings, one side will be alot stiffer than the other.
I would suggest installing bushings that are the same type as the passenger side into the supra arms before installing them.

I would strongly recommend replacing both. The Supra LCA's will slightly alter your alignment and suspension geometry, and while it is no issue at all when you replace both, it may cause bumpsteer or similar issues if you only replace one, regardless of your alignment settings.
I too replaced both front LCA's with Supra units in my old SC300 and the difference was worth each and every penny.

You should always replace both sides at the same time. Just replacing one side will potentially cause problems and will end up costing you more money in the end. Its kinda like only changing half of your spark plugs!
