Does anyone no if this will work. Im thinking that the hubs will fit the spindles, and if not, surely the spindles will fit the control arms. But also, will a toyota axle fit an isuzu drive shaft? Or will I have to get a U-Joint from NAPA. All I know is that a Mazdas driveshaft bolt pattern is kind of like this... o_____o and an isuzus is like this....o____o
............................................................o____o
.........o_____o
If you get what I mean, those are supposed to be the bolt holes for the yoke to bolt the the axle.

that didnt work out so well, what I meant to explain is that the bolt pattern for a mazda is like 3x3 square(with the holes on the corners) and the isuzu is 2x3. And what Im asking is is the toyota 3x3 or 2x3?

You can modify the front arms a little by makign ablljoitn adapter plates to weld onto the stock arm and fit Toyota balljoints and spindles.

For the rear end, you could probably take the flange off the back of a Toyota driveshaft, and swap it out with the Mazda or Isuzu one, whichever you got. Most U-joints for these little trucks are probably the same. Just depends on if the length is right.

Sorry, one more quicky, when you do a balljoint flip, do you flip the balljoints upside down, or just to the top of the control arm?
As in... ___ balljoint now, and then... ^ balljoint after flip

Or keep it facing down, to the top of the arm like this... -V---

A balljoint flip is just putting the balljoint on the opposite side of the arm, facing the same direction.

Oh, damnit, I was thinking it was actually facign the opposite way, so it would drop it liek 3 inches. What are toyota balljoints like, facing up or down, isuzus and mazdas both face down, as in the threads are on the bottom.

Newer Toyotas uppers face down, lowers face up. Its only like 5/8" drop, not really worth it to me for making the arm weaker.

If you flipped it upside down the taper would be backwards and would not work at all.

i have the toyota spindles..sittin up if u want them

So would I have to swap the whole spindle, cause Ive heard of people using toyota hubs/rotors on their stock spindles, I dont know if they were Mazdas or Mitsy's or Nissans, but I know its been done a time or two.
