I think they would fit. Only 80% sure as I'm getting forgetfull.

The AE86 knuckles are shorter, so would make a good swap for quicker steering.

I pretty sure they wont fit upto your rt142 struts but they will fit onto the balljoint, you would have to run ae86 struts. Can I ask why your asking this?

No, RT142 is the same bolt spacing as RA60/RA65/MA61

Yes, so if this is a case of wanting more lock than you should go powersteering knuckles off an ra60/65, and if you have lower offset wheels, get rid of the lca lock stops.

If your Rt142 is manual rack P/S arms from ra65 will be shorter, If RT142 has power steering they are the same.
