My '93 2wd P/U (RN80L-TRMREAB) needs a suspension rebuild and I'm collecting part numbers to make sure that I get the right bits and pieces. After reading all of the discussion about how Toyota OEM pieces are better than anything else, I'd like to go that route, but it looks like some parts are discontinued.

1. I'm getting conflicting information about the front and rear upper control arm bushings. Are these the right part numbers? Front: 48632-35020; Rear: 48635-35010. ToyotaPartsDeal.com says that the 35010 number will not work with my truck.
2. It looks like OEM outer tie rod ends are available (45046-39385) but the OEM inner tie rod ends are discontinued (45406-39155). Have I got the right numbers? I've seen some threads saying that other people have had to use Sankei 555 or MOOG parts for replacing these on their trucks. It looks like there's some preference for the Sankei 555 parts over MOOG, but also looks like both have shorter use-lives than OEM.

More questions coming ...

This started out as asn abandoned POS beach bike covered with stickers. It turned out to be based on a 2010 KHS frame, so I dug in and started cleaning and replacing. I just put on the high riser bars today and I’m grooving on the ergonomics. The beach bars weren’t the right vibe. It’s not really a klunker but I’m not sure what else to call it. Power cruiser? Muscle bike? FXR-hp (human powered)?

I recently picked up this 1974 Schwinn Speedster, and I’d like to upgrade the seat post to an aluminum one with a “micro adjustable” post that would allow for use of seats with rails. Any guidance from the chorus?
