Whats this steering arm off, hub is mr2, car is caldina, engine is 1uz, rack is mr2

Are you talking about the lower suspension balljoint or the outer tie-red end for the steering?

by **Burning Angel** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 9:07 am

it could be altezza as the lower balljoint is part of the steering arm/knuckle on those.

Looks like MR2 but it's been awhile since I've looked under my car.

by **CelicaGT8** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 11:29 am

talking about the lower ball joint.

Yea i think its off an altezza, but dont have one to look at, let alone an mr2 hub.

You think its off an other mr2? Obviously not the same type as the original sits higher above it as you can see in the pic

FOUND IT

definately not an altezza lower balljoint. as you can see in the toyodiy schematic, the outer lower balljoint assembly (43330k R/H and 43340a L/H) bolts onto the lower of the hub and has the mount for the outer tierod built in. the ball joint points 'down'.

In the picture you have supplied, the balljoint is bolted to the lower arm, and the ball joint is pointing 'up'.

The balljoint in the pic you have supplied is more similar to a caldina/corolla lower balljoint.

sorry, after a little closer inspection, maybe? i cant quite see clearly how it attatches. the balljoint still appears to be facing up..

by **soopachargen** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 6:09 pm

is it just me or is there space to bolt two tie rod ends on that hub??

by **soopachargen** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 6:12 pm

ok, on further inspection and visiting toyodiy that makes more sense

by **CelicaGT8** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 7:24 pm

Wait... your right, the ball joint faces the wrong way.... It needs to bolt to the lower control arm and then have the steering arm off it and bolt to the hub....

Unless theres another part that goes between the lower ball joint and the lower control arm...?...?

AUTOBOTS MOBILIZE!

can you dissassemble it a little? or get some better pics of it, how it mounts to the hub etc

by **CelicaGT8** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 8:19 pm

OMG i found some, different from how it was in my mind, my sick sick mind.

So need to know what ball joint and steering arm it is, and i am right about the hub being mr2 sw20?

by **YeMs** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 10:12 pm

the balljoint looks like a corolla item. steering arm is definately not altezza. infact i cant figure out what its off sorry.

by **soopachargen** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 10:22 pm

its not off an ae86 ke70 etc is it??

by **CelicaGT8** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 6:19 pm

Its not off a ke70, but is simular. The factory st165 balljoints may even fit it, which would be ssssuper cool.

Its close to a MX73 one

by **soopachargen** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 10:02 pm

not jzx90 or similar??

by **CelicaGT8** » Sat Apr 09, 2011 5:42 pm

99% sure they have the ball joint is part of the arm
