Reading through, it appears that the Yaris ones are OK.
Does anyone have a part number so I can call the dealers?
Banana has just failed her MOT on worn lower arm bushes.

Thought people were going with the ebay ones
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Just a note. Go on mr2 fb page and search for Yaris. You'll find the confirmation on there.

There's a post from 2016 saying that there are two types for Yaris, and another poster in the same thread saying they're not the same but very similar.

Quick eBay search shows there is a set with a 12mm bush and another set with a 14mm bush.

Can anyone measure which is likely to match the mr2 ones?
I don't mind having a punt to save £700+ on the mr2 ones.
Would rather order once though if poss.

I'm banned from the Facebook group for some reason so can't search it, but these are the ones I bought and I fitted to my car a few months back

Without getting too far into it, that list will be based on the part number. Toyota specify different part numbers for both cars. However, the car sat in my garage at this minute in time, has Yaris arms fitted to it. Held up against each other, they looked identical. Other people have reported success with the Scion arms, which is the US equivalent of that era Yaris.

There may be a difference, there may not be. For £40 I am happy.

Pay no attention to ebay.
Loads of things aren't listed correctly.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Does anyone know if there are any differences between PFL and FL for the lower arms? I haven't spotted anything.

I don't believe there is, though your best bet would likely be Dean or Dick given their experience of breaking a variety of cards.

The only suspension 'gotcha' I've come up against so far, is a difference in spring length on the rear depending on year. 353mm vs 360mm

@Bossworld based on your rebuilt car, I have taken the plunge. I need my car back up and running this week. The States option was not viable. Additionally if i can bolster the evidence then the rest of the club benefits too. £45 next day delivery for the pair could be a huge win!

Thanks for your support. :)

Good luck and if the car has ever lived near the sea, get plusgassing the bolts now. Not that much to undo to change them but it might take some persuasion. Couple of us documented our fun in here

I also opted not to dismantle the hub, which means you'll need to use your judgement for the torque on the castle nut as you won't get a torque wrench in there with the hub attached

So ordered these before midday yesterday and they arrived 24 hours later!! Big win from Yodel today. :) :)



Thought I would throw up some photos for future reference.

Have taken the boys down to the garage for them to fit and make Banana fit for the road once more. :)

@Carolyn any chance of double checking these against the stock/Scion parts you have on the shelf?

Fair enough.
If you do ever unwrap them, perhaps you could review this.

I've got some of the Murican ones but they're on someone else's shelf at the moment, they're unwrapped though so if he ever brings them back I'll try and remember to measure them.

You realise that this will happen 5 seconds after you have taken the car off the axle stands, to complete the job! ;)

Nah, I've had them since last summer, bought them as shelf parts while they were at (what was then) the best price for the part. No need of them at the moment, touch wood..[emoji23]
