ma61 front end upgrade writeup.

[nb86]

The castor rod holes are a little further outbaord (~5mm). I was concerned a little, but upon assembly, the castor arm actually has a straighter pull to the bush than factory (at least at loaded hight).

I'm about to do this to mine, just pulled it apart tonight, but the question I have is: Can you use the MA61 LCAs? Is there any reason you can't keep the MA61 LCA and balljoint, bolt the SA63 steering arm to the balljoint, etc? I haven't measured yet, it got dark and cold Just wanting to save myself some screwing around if this doesn't work...

...I promptly replaced the ball joints, which are smaller than the MA61 units (BJ145 on the celica, BJ314 on the supra)...

Balljoints are significantly different (taper size) so you need to use the correct steering arm for the lower control arm. And no, you can't fit a BJ145 where a BJ314 used to sit, their body diameter is different too.

Perfect, that's the answer I was looking for And, can you not use the SA63 castor rods? I'm just being plain lazy now, I'll know instantly looking at them tomorrow
