I hope it's not too much of a hassle to pull. I certainly appreciate your help. Once again, all I need now is the left hand (driver's side) control arm. I purchased a replacement for the right side (which I was primarily after at first) on Ebay. I haven't swapped the diff yet. I just saw your messag...

Thank you guys for the insight and feedback. Xirdneh and NWMO thank you for offering your help. Rer233 I second what you said " Man, I love simple- probably the main reason I'm so hooked on our cars!" The Tercel's simplicity and the ease with which repairs can be done are, I believe, two o...

If you have time and you're interested in selling me yours, please let me know. I did happen to find a replacement right hand (passenger side) arm on ebay - the side I was primarily after - for $43, free shipping. But I'm thinking I'll go ahead and replace both. So if you have a left hand (drivers s...

On second thought, I'm going to try and track down a replacement, or figure out a way to strengthen the center of that rusted out socket. It seems much too thin. The cushions (and they are called "cushions" by the way, though you'll also see them show up as just "bushings" in cat...

Wear in that location wouldn’t particularly worry me. The “cushions” (don’t remember the correct term), meet in the middle when sandwiched. If they don’t “tighten” satisfactorily between the large metal “washers”, I would find a couple of washers about the same OD as the “cushion” and use them as s...

Any pics? The front “control” arms are solid cast iron I believe. I can’t imagine needing to replace one because of rust. I may have a couple, but it’s crazy busy right now. Chris The "sockets" where the sway bar cushions sit, were rusted out pretty badly (sway bar was worse). After disso...

I'm looking for a replacement passenger-side control arm.I'll take both control arms, too, if anyone has them. I discovered rather rusty control arms as I set about doing some suspension and steering system repairs. I soaked the control arms in a rust dissolving solution and began a process of reviv...

Thanks guys. SirFoxx I tried the yard you linked, no dice. NWO I wish I could have the whole axle assembly shipped to me, but that's unfortunately a bit beyond my budget. Another forum member told me swapping the diffs should work. I found a seller on Ebay who was willing to pull a diff for me from ...

I'm looking for a 3.73:1 rear diff. I own an 86 with an 83 or 84 transmission. Anyone have a diff they could sell to me? Also, once I track down and install the correct diff, I can pass along my 4.11:1 rear diff to someone else in need - so if you're interested in that, let me know. I'm told swappin...

I'm 4age swapping my 84 Tercel and recently picked up 2-ish 85+ transmissions with one 4.10:1 front diff and I need the matching rear ratio. If anyone has one in the PNW for sale let me know. Are you still looking for the matching rear diff? I know it's been quite some time since you posted this, s...

Thank you Toyotise! I put a lot of thought and intention into this build, so I really appreciate your compliments!

Sorry for late reply, feast your eyes.

Great story, welcome to the forum. That is a nice looking tercel4wd. where are you located? Hi Petros, Glad to be a part of this forum, thanks for the welcome. This forum is a tremendous help, and really a big reason Tercels are still on the road, so a huge thank you for what you and the other admi...

Welcome! What a great legacy and memories you have! And - what a gorgeous Terc! Keep the photos coming, please! Tom M. Thank you Tom! Very cool to be a part of this group, helping each other keep these classic cars alive. I need to reformat nearly all my photos of the vehicle I have right now becau...

Hi fellow Tercel people! I recently finished my Tercel build (or at least for now, because we all know how these projects go - ever improving and restoring, and sometimes adding new elements to the old classic), and I'm excited to share it here. This Tercel SR5 was handed down to me from my dear mot...
