What is the reason behind running a Toyota spindle on a Mazda A-Arm rather than just the stock Mazda spindle?

I must have missed this memo?

can you use the stock mazda ball joints ??? with the toyota spindles i found a set of toy spindles i was going to get them (JUNKYARD) but was not sure if they would work

prolly gotta do a little redrilling, but you can prolly make it work. A few people down here have done it.

i mean most of the stuff i get from the junkyard where i go is super cheap (prolly due to the fact im there all the time) so im gonna try it hopefully i can completely convert it to five lug

sounds like me, me and the guys at the scrap yard are on a first name basis im there so much. im running 87 yota spindles with yota balljoints, i had to redrill bj. holes and make the large hole in the upper arm like an 1/8th of an inch bigger. i have heard hearsay about using mazda balljoints but im not shure what the deal is, you can run mazda tierods , the first side will take a while but the seccond side goes allot easier

correct me if i'm wrong but there' are only 2 sizes of holes that ball joints are... like a 7 degree taper or a 10 degree taper.
