RA65 vs MA61 - Lower control arm, 3 questions.

[Admiral coFF33]

Hey all,

Feel free to tell me to gtfo and go search, but i have and didnt find anything intelligent.

So please let me know :

1. What is the length of each arm from tip to tip?
2. Are the balljoints the same outside diameter? (ie. are they swappable)?
3. Is the balljoint pin bit (that the steering arm sits on) the same size between each arm?


Cheers
John.

updated - was thinking about z11 versus MA61, sorry.

MA61 ball joint is BJ314 (also used in Cressidas)
RA65 ball joint is BJ145 (used in most RWD Celica except some SA63)

(part number is Protex but will be common across makers)

AFAIK the RA65 are 10mm shorter...
