If that is the case, please explain 1979 - 1985 Toyota Hi lux suspension.

Why would the Toyota Engineers ABANDON front shackles of the Land Cruiser when they designed the Hi-Lux?
Ok, so why didnt they ABANDON the design in the 60 and 70 series LandCruiser? Why does Nissan and other competitive manufacturers use the same design?
