The ones off your old LCA / strut.

Why? Because the bolt spacing is different on Corona LCA's, also the steering arm is longer (slower steering speed).

I have a sprinter... Will i need to change the steering arms???

[Konakid]

No.....

[marvis]

Nope.

[koulouris#03]

so its just a straight bolt in???

[Clinton]

got to change the steering arms over.

marvis says: This is incorrect information.

Assuming they are xt130 lca's, the steering arms would bolt up to 86 struts (same bolt spacing, slightly different offset from balljoint though), but as said no point using them.

How to change LCA.

1. Jack car up
2. Unbolt LCA at cross member.
3. Undo Caster Rod and Swaybar Link Pin
4. Use a allan key to remove the bolts that hold the steering arm on the strut
5. Remove Tie Rod End.
6. Remove the whole control arm.
7. Remove steering arm from the LCA
8. Put the Steering arm on your Corona LCA
9. Put everything back.
10. Get a Wheel alignment

same deal in ke70? i was told i dont have to change anything. true?

[Hokey]

fk me if you read up all your question will be answered. have to run the corona steering knuckles as ke70 knuckles have a different pattern.

if you have an ae86 you can run standard steering knuckles as they are the same as corona and are shorter which means you keep the same steering lock and ratio.

My post applies to to AE86, ke70, ae71 and pretty much any 80s toyota running original gear (not nissan)
its pretty simple....

holy shit people!
you obviously didnt read up enough either.

to clarify this massacre of a thread,
just use the corona LCA its self, use everything else from your sprinter.
everything bolts up fine no modifications needed.
