I have a 89' Toy, 3.0 v6 with the Toytec spacer. I have run into an issue where the IFS upper control arm was changed by the manufacturer mid 88'. The upper rear control arm bushing changed sizes and the pre 88' is a little difficult to get. I was able to get the bushing with some work, had them pressed in. The arm was, lets say, not in the same condition when I dropped it off when i got it back.. but it seems to work for the time being. Yet I would like to see if there is a company that makes an aftermarket replacement control arm. I believe Rancho used to replace the upper control arm in their lift kits but that it is no longer avail. I intend on staying as stock as possible and maybe making it easier to find the bushings for this part in the future. Perhaps a later model stock arm will fit and then I would be able to use the Energy Suspension kit (Which the bushing is too long upon test fitting for the pre 88') ??? Any suggestions are appreciated.
 
if the post-'88 arm bolts in the same way, junkyard a pair of upper control arms and just use the later style
