S14 LCA in S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey Guys-
i just wanted to know if an S14 (1997) Lower Control Arm would fit into a S13 (1989). I've got a 5-lug conversion with the S14 spindles and hubs if that makes any difference. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

It'll fit, but the S14 lower control arms are longer by a significant amount. It'll push your track out wider....

yeah, you better have camber plates, ot youll be looking at some major positive camber.

negative camber, not positive.

Cool...thanks.

According to Kookz it's ~10mm wider than the S13 LCAs. He has them, so I'm sure that's right.

sorry to bring this back but..

Let's say you dont have s14 spindles but you still want to use s14 LCA on your s13 for more negative camber. Do you have to press your s13 ball joint into the s14 LCA?

Salty_X · 09-29-2004, 05:58 PM

Yes. I would get new S13 balljoints though, as the old ones might get fucked up pressing them out of the arms.
Even if they don't, they're 11+ years old...

would you need s14 tie rods to suit the lca's?

S13 tie rods will still work but you have to unscrew them out a bit to make up for the wider track of the 14 lca.
