Hi guys
Can anyone advise if the 2wd upper and lower control arms are the same as the 4wd ones on an 05-15 Hilux.
TIA

Geez Gus, would have thought someone would have responded by now....
I have no idea but I'm commenting to keep your post relevant.
Having said that, posting a pic of your truck might help as I think our year models might be different to yours!

Welcome Gus!
A lot of the guys have been away over the holiday season, so someone that knows may still respond. I would just check with your local agents, should be easy for them to simply compare part numbers.

I'm a bit surprised at the lack of response as well.
Looking at the upper arms on my 2wd and arms on a 4wd the 2wd ones look to be built stronger as the tubing is complete, the tubing on the 4wd ones are just 1/2 pressings.
Visually they both appear to have the same fixing points on the chassis, I haven't been able to get 2 side by side so I don't know if they are different lengths to the ball joint.
I want to make some long arms hence why I need to know the difference.

Now I'm curious Angus. Why longer arms?
I'm sure you've already considered it, but if you lengthen the arms, top and bottom must be lengthened equally otherwise the camber will be out.
