    The control arms should fit, but you'll still have to eliminate the cam bolt inboard adjuster just like I had to do with the '94 control arms I used on my car......

    As for the rear trailing arms, not sure if they would be work due to the double shear mounting at the base of the rear hub spindles on our 162 chassis.

    Find some tubing to match the diameter of the threaded bung inserts and cut it to match the length of you existing control arms, center of bushing hole to bushing hole. Take the whole thing to a local metal fabricator and have them weld it all up for you, just make sure you have a left hand thread and a right hand thread bung on each control arm. By doing what I just described, you can just turn the center of the control arm to adjust in and out for toe adjustment.

    Check with Whiteline Suspension for custom end links that can be special ordered or you can purchase these from them and cut them to fit.......http://www.whitelinesuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=W23180_Rear

    Well double checked and you no longer have to special order the Whiteline adjustable end links, they are available on-line now....http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KLC141
