technically all you need is stanza steering arms...then they will bolt in
but you really should go stanza or sunny balljoints and outer tierod ends as well

mystery solved

dont listen to other people

should go stanza/sunny balljoints as they are 8mm ish longer than late ute ones. without this extra length you will be stuck with positive camber(without the use of camber tops that is, if you can pull the tops in say 15mm you should be right to leave the ute balljoints)
extra track width is about 15mm per side, half from the balljoint and half from the hub being out further
stanza/sunny outer tierod ends, as they are apparently different to stanza ones....but i dont know if they really are

to do the strut swap from basics you need

late ute/120y, or stanza/sunny control arms
late ute/120y radious rods
stanza/sunny balljoints
stanza/sunny steering arms
stanza/sunny outer tierod ends
stanza/sunny tierods

you already have the first 2
the balljoints are longer giving some camber
steering arms are needed so the struts bolt on
outer tierods ends....debatable, possibaly the same as 1200
tierods.... debatable, some say you need the longer ones but im using 180b which are the same length as 1200 ones
