Car - ke70 wagon with ae71 x-member conversion with mystery strut, LCA, disc's and hubs?
previous owners said that it had "XT130 Struts, LCA's and knuckles"
motor / part in question - Struts, LCA's, hubs & discs.
problem - Help identify
occurs/started when (if applicable)- when installed new coilovers with 86 P/S knuckles - LHS ball joint was fucked so I tried to replace the ball joint and the early corolla/corona BJ145/217 was too small WTF>?
personal situation (if applicable) - one confused mofo who just spend 30mins at repco struggling with the "parts interpreter" trying to ID my ball joint with no luck....
-So these struts, knuckles and LCAS were installed on my KE70 wagon with AE71 xmember.
I was told they were XT130, but I don't believe they are.
They do have bigger hubs that suit XT130/MA61 stub axles as I have had the hubs and discs on my new XT130/coilovers, but the spacing for the knuckles is different to XT130/ AE86/ AE86 p/s knuckles.
Also on the LCA's, the ball joints are bigger then the early corolla/corona (XT130/ XE7X/ AE86 BJ145 (or TRW JBJ217) ) by 2mm.
I just tried to fit a BJ145 in and it was too small for the LCA...
The Ball joints look identical to a BJ145 but on verniers the BJ145 is 2mm smaller in circumference....WTF
I've got some kind of frankinstein front end in this thing.
Can anyone help out to identify what the hell i got here?
My first hint was when I put my XT130 coilovers in the AE86 P/S knuckles would not fit on the ball join properly.
I ended up forcing them on with a breaker bar and am now regretting doing that as I think I'm going to have a fuck off hard time undoing this!
LCA Pic up soon
