Welcome.

Some of that stuff may still be available new from the dealer. You can purchase new steering knuckles and control arms through after market, or keep checking the classified section of this site for used bits (this will be the least expensive route). For the panhard mount you'll probably need to cut one from a donor car and have it professionally welded on your car. Members will sometimes part out an entire chassis and are will to cut parts of the body before scrapping it - you just need to check the classifieds. You could also check local junkyards and craigslist.

It may be worth making a 'willing to buy (wtb)' thread in the classified section. There are used oem replacement parts out there for reasonable prices if you have patience. The knuckle and control arms should be relatively easy to find second hand. Most of the aftermarket stuff is going to be pricey.

One of the best tools available is Toyodiy. http://www.toyodiy.com Sign up there and you can enter in your car info and get nearly all of the Toyota part numbers. With the part numbers, you can easily find out if the parts are still available new or if you need to search the junkyards in your area or ask the community. Good luck!

I'm rocking the Techno Toy Tuning tie rods and steering knuckles, and they are awesome for sure. Very beefy and they will probably be the last ones you ever have to buy unless you manage to break them. But yeah, I highly support Techno Toy Tuning. Great products and awesome customer service.

I have 2 sets of stock lca's

tie rods are cheap as hell on rockauto.... like 20 bucks brand new?

Did that SAME thing to my Panhard mount and I can tell you what will happen. If you leave it alone over time it will rust in the part thats wrinkled and eventually will break and cause your rear end to sway from side to side through a turn. You have 2 options when fixing this issue. You can either A) Cut out the whole section and replace it with a new one, this will require dropping the axle and I suggest gas tank since you will be welding fairly close to it. Lots of work and headache. Or option B) cut the section that has the wrinkle (just one straight cut on each side you dont have to cut the whole thing out) bend it back into place and get the metal thats wrinkled as straight as you can and then weld plates over the sections you cut. Also get an adjustable panhard bar so you can center the diff up better.

DONT just buy an adjustable bar and forget about it. It WILL break and it WILL suck when it does. Weld it up like I said.

Welcome Ashley! When I smashed my car, I also bent the tension rod, so you may need that, too. I didn't know it was bent until I got a new control arm and started putting it all back together. I think I have you beat on the control arm:

Hello Ashley, I just moved to New Mexico two months ago from California. I have lower control arms and manual steering knuckles, I just have to see if I can find them. Where in NM do you live?
