Ke30 Lower control arm specs

[Ethan.ke20]

Hi, 

wondering if anyone could tell me the length of ke20 and ke30 LCA lengths? (Centre of ball joint to centre of bushing)

also want to know if a ke20 ball joint will fit into ke30 LCA? And if ke20 caster arms and sway bar link bolt in to the ke30 lower arms?

basically wanna use the aftermarket T3 ke30 LCA’s in my ke20

Ke20 are the longest of the Corolla lcas

 

From memory ke20 is approx 325mm while ke30 is 310mm

 

Unless they have a ton of adjustment they won’t be long enough and you’ll end up with positive camber. 
 

What’s the reason for wanting longer Lca’s? Just for camber?

Haven't got any KE20 LCAs, but measured my KE30 LCA, & can confirm  310mm is correct.

The t3 aftermarket LCA’s extend 1.5” (38.1mm) so they should adjust enough to fit 

just wanting to run something aftermarket instead of stock LCA’s 

also need to find out if ke20 ball joint will fit into ke30 lca’s?
or if I’ll have to get my steering arm lathed to suite ke30 taper ball joint 

[Jono.C]

From memory the ball joints will interchange

 

Theyre not really a street LCA. There’s no benefit to them over the factory ones unless you’re just trying to gain wank factor

No the KE20 ball joint pin is smaller.

unless you run coil overs there isn't enough room in a KE20 strut tower to get any camber adjustment

I’ve got t3 weld on coilover kit on my struts

Yeah the actual ball joints them selves although different size / taper are same size where they press into the arm

True, the pin size wont be relevant will it.
