I'm wondering about control arms for a Datsun 1200. What is the difference between Stanza control arms and 1200 control arms? Also, Will Stanza struts fit on 1200 control arms?
Thanks.

About 5mm difference with the bolt holes. They wont fit

yeah stanza arms have a bigger balljoint mounting hole spacing, so you can use the bigger ball joints, so you can use the bigger steering arms, so you can use the bigger struts (stanza struts suck )

stanza control arms are also longer than the 1200's. from memory it was about 20mm longer, but don't quote me on that

also wider bolt spacing for the castor rod

due to bigger balljoint bolt hole spacing

will stanza lower control arms and castor rods bolt to a 120y strut? or will they only bolt to a stanza strut?

A Late model 120y strut (and every other datsun strut apart from 1200 or early 120y, R31 need a keeper ring) will bolt to a stanza steering arm.

Just so you know, the control arm does not bolt to the strut, it bolts to the engine crossmember.

The strut bolts to the steering arm which bolts to the ball joint. The ball joint then bolts to the control arm and the castor rod bolts to the control arm sharing two of the holes for the ball joint.

Theres a diagram around somewhere on how suspension bolts together.

where are these late model 120y struts.... would they be the answer (more so control arms and steering arms) for people not wanting increased track width on the front that is assosiated with bigger struts/control arms

or is it just sunny stuff in a 120y from the factory

Ive never seen the late model 120y stuff, If its the same width as the standard 120y I think you would run into positive camber problems with stanza struts and other stock struts.

so i can put stanza lCA's in my 120y along with stanza castor rods and this will increase the track and maybe give some neg camber.
whats the difference between early and late model struts?
