    Ae86 arms can use if use urethan bushings and re-drill the hole bigger. I have done that. Or use a special machined washer under bolt and nut to keep the 12mm bolt in the middle of 14mm hole.

    With oem 86 lsd you had to cut ~6mm at half shaft spline end, there is topi. On that so i reco to do some more reading..

    I use whiteline AE86 adjustable upper and lower arms in the rear of my RA28. Whiteline were kind enough to custom fit the larger 14mm bush to suit the RA28 at no extra cost.
