Ball joints different between ep82/92


Recommended Posts

Seems to be never ending problems with my car replacing all these parts.

Question this time is, are there any difference between the ball joints between ep82 and an ep91?? Problems is I've replaced both hubs either side on my ep80 with items from an ep91 and whilst doing so also did the ball joints but now I've got positive camber of about 3° on driver side.

At first I thought maybe it was the wrong hand ball joint so checked against the old and they match design. Only thing left is either ep91 ball joints are longer to suit the hubs and give camber, or else the ep91 arms are longer to suit.

I've checked part numbers from toyodiy and they list the same ball joint anx lower arm part numbers across all starlet models

Loosen off the bolts to the shock and lift the hub up then tighten the bolts

Would there really be that much play in stock shock absorber bolt holes? I've seen Coilovers slotted to give a little extra camber but never on stock units.

Cheers again morgey by the way, always seems to be you to the rescue lol

He said positive. I've done this before and it was rediculous how much positive camber I had maybe not 3 degrees positive but was a good 1-1.5

Lifted it back and done it up and it was back at slight negative how it should have been.
