Lower Control Arms

[amped12345]

Does anyone know if a lower control arm from a Lexus SC300 would fit an 89 Supra bc they look quite similar and lower control arms for a supra seem to be rare

Doubtful since the SC300 has more in common with the MKIV Supra...

I've read the upper control arms are interchangeable but the lower ones are not. Even if they were, you don't want to do it. The bushings are weak and prone to early failure and the ball joint is not seperate. MKIV Supra's and SC3/400's share the same suspension except for the stablizer bar, which is beefier on the MKIV. They're essentially the same chasis, just the SC is longer and a lot heavier.

Gtsfirefighter is right the bushing are horrible. I've owned a sc3 the control arm bushings are just like a 7m hg it will go out on you just a matter of time.
