Dearest 6GC,

I'm on a mission to remove as much rust from my '99 as possible. The front end of my car has been completed, sans the inner tie rods. From the crossmember to the knuckles and everything in between, below the engine of my '99 looks immaculate. I found a salvaged vehicle at one of my local junkyards today with ABS whose control arm bolts for the rear knuckle weren't seized to the knuckles, but alas, the driver's side was completely destroyed. Does anybody have one laying around or could check their local junkyard for one? This would mean so much to me if I could finally stop thinking about the body and finally move onto what I am dreading the most: the engine bay.

EDIT: With disc brakes. Not sure if there's actually a difference between the knuckle with disc or drum.

Thank you,

MAG

Ya the difficulty of removing it is the issue

Anti-seize is my best friend right now.

I'll give my local yard a looksie next time I'm there. If it's a New Mexico Celica, it won't have a bit of rust on it!

The rear knuckle should be the same for both models, as long they both have ABS.

I would greatly appreciate the gesture.

Yeah, I've only been able to find verts, let alone ones with ABS. But according to Toyota, there are different part numbers for DISC and DRUM, so I'm not sure if that difference actually exists. I guess there won't be holes for disc brakes to be bolted through?

I went ahead and snagged one from my local yard, but I had to saw through a lot of metal in order to take it home. The bolt is still seized in there and will try some heat and a press, but I honestly don't think I'm going to have much luck.
