Wanted - 2 lower trailing/control arms 80 Series Landcruiser
Hi All,
I'm after the 2 lower trailing/control arms from an 80 Series Landcruiser rear diff.
Think they are about 700mm long and 45mm across the rear bush.
If anyone knows of some for sale would appreciate if you could let me know.
Cheers,

There have been a couple of guys on Trademe parting out 80s but so far they either haven't had them or wanted big money.
Are you sure it was in the 'Wrecked Cars listing' ? I couldn't see it...

OK, found the listing. He was one of the guys I had asked before but he wanted quite a few $$$ for the arms

Anyone else???

Look at the LJ71/LJ78 arms as well as they are similar, also have heard rangerover ones may be workable as well

Might have some disco rear arms floating round, just not sure if a yota is worthy of rover parts


Think I even have an A arm off one too - rovers get awesome flex from standard and climb well, but the antisquat police my shoot me

Hi Jerry, Assuming this guy is listing the right photo & parts description the LJ71/78 rears are 3 link arms not the 4 link the 80 series have in the rear:

Vs ones I am after (bottom of photo) - without having to buy whole diff:

x2 I was considering approaching MNC seeing if he wanted to do a deal on the diff but realised I would still be forking out heaps only for a rear disc conversion and thought naaaaaaaw
