ebay has the lexus lower control arms for 300 each.
to test the ball joints u need a torque wrench with the beam that reads inch pounds,
it says to wiggle the ball joint back and forth and to turn the bolt 5 times and measure
the torque on the 5th turn. 11 to 30 inch pounds.

Hey guys pardon my ignorance, i just got my 92 sc4. I was just curious though why is everyone replacing the entire control arm? Its not a wear item right? It appears ball joints and bushings can be bought seperate?

the lexus control arms are more expensive and almost the exact same as the supra LCA's except the supra ones are much cheaper, more abundant, and the differences are the fact the bushings can be replaced in the latter option.

Supra lower control arms are an upgrade buddy, They are aluminum, I guess it would be an upgrade for people that are looking at lighter parts lol, Anyways, Curt from elmhurts toyota has the lower control arms in stock & I believe they sell for 250.00, The ball joints are not replaceable thru all the years..
