    i've never heard of it done on a pre 79 yota, but maybe give it a try and see if it works.

    i think it has the same spindles that my 73 has. there is a huge metal tab that goes to part of the bump stop thats in the way on the upper part of the lower arm.

    i also think the top of the arm is flared up for the head of the balljoint.. i dont think its flat on top of the arm.
