Difference between camry and solara front control arms?

Difference between camry and solara front control arms?

Postby TMMK Toy » Sun Aug 05, 2007 4:51 pm

Not sure where to post this so if you want to move it, feel free to. I looked up energy's front control arm kit and it notes that 4th gen camries use iron control arms and 1st gen solaras use steel ones. However, they all use the same bushings. But what I want to know is if this is indeed true are the solara units lighter? I tried using a parts catalog online and seems to indicate there may be a difference but I cant find any other details. If solara arms are def. lighter than my camry's, then I'd invest in the solara parts to reduce some unsprung weight.

? Gen4 Camrys are something like 150-200lbs lighter. They dont have all the standard features that solaras have but they are lighter overall and shorter too.

Nope, solara front control arms are iron. Replaced my rear bushing (hockey puck ones) earlier this summer. Definitely iron.

I'm not sure why I'm trying to get any feedback on this.
