86 aw11 Lower ball joint and lower control arm - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

plumpsnake21 · 09-17-2009, 09:53 PM

Hey everybody, im thinking about buying an 86 aw11, but when i looked under it, i noticed that the rear lower balljoint and control arm need replacing. But every autoparts store i call, and wholesale warehouse i call(cus i work at an autoparts store) tells me that they only have listings for the front. And for the rear they only go back to 87. Which is wut my books at work say also.

I found one at a dealer, but I was wondering if anyone knows where this part is available, a trustworthy site or store, so i dont have to pay the outrageous dealer prices.
Thanks for any help.

No problem. I hope there's something usefull there.
I have seen ball joints for 1st gen MR2's, but I can't say I noticed if they were front or rear. It's worth a look see .
Edit: found this for ya-if you're interested

Dangerous place the Internet. Always buyer Beeware.

Yes, this add is flawed even as written Lil.

The 85-86 series of rear toe-in adjuster is 17 1/2" in length
The 87-89 series " " " " " " 13"
(this includes the S/C and N/A models)

All the rear and front ball joints are interchangable at their respective locations
