Front Suspension Clarification - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

First off, I'd like to say I already searched a bit but only came up with one pic.

Just wanted to know if anyone has a picture of their front suspension. You see, I have a 2008 Toyota Tacoma 5 Lug, and I have heard from a couple different sources, none of them online though, about 9th Gen corolla coilovers fitting on our trucks.

We have a basic coilover up front, but the bottom of the strut has an eye, and I had just assumed that the Corolla's were McPherson up front.

i know this is a horrible pic but its the best one i could find of how the strut mounts to the LCA

If anyone has pics or can just tell me they don't fit it'd be greatly appreciated.

I can confirm that the 9th gen Corollas did have a Macpherson strut front suspension setup.

The rear suspension uses a torsion beam setup.

whoa...the rears might actually fit. the bottom of the strut is the same as ours. lol. maybe thats what people were talking about.

if anything, could you get a measurement of the length of the rear coilover?

thanks for the pics!
