Sometimes called a "lower control arm" (LCA), the transverse link is the lower suspension member. The Tension Rod (castor rod) bolts to it, as do the Ball Joints. The inner end of the LCA bolts to the front Crossmember.

Overview
The inner end of the LCA bolts to the front Crossmember:
B310 and B110 LCA are virtually identical
With B310 Ball Joints, the B310 Knuckle Arm fits, which will bolt to most Datsun-Nissan struts such as Stanza, 280ZX, etc.
Bushings: Stock vs Poly comparo
Racing
Upgrading
Late 1200 vs Early 1200
Later utes used the H85 LCA, *same as B310*. This started in 1975 October.
B310/A10
B310 (Sunny/210) LCA and A10 (Violet/Stanza) LCA are the same. Also same as late (1976 and up) 1200 and 120Y. They can be swapped with earlier B110 if used as a set (LCA + Balljoint + Tension Rod).
See discussion Negative Camber
Stanza balljoints increase the track ~32mm -- too far to be registered in ACT.
per side +8mm strut/hub offset +8mm ball joint offset
Some say it increases track ~50 mm.
B310 vs B110 lower arms
As for the lower arms, they are indeed the same length. With the exception of the diameter of the bolts which hold the ball joint to them ...they are the same. However the [B]310 arms are made of a slightly heavier construction, so it would be a toss up between strength verses weight, when chosing which arms to use.Utes ... use the bigger bolts like the [B]310's.
A14force
Backfire said the ball joint bolt pattern is smaller in B110 vs B310.
late ute ball joints (left) to stanza ball joints
Both fit late 1200 or Stanza/B310 LCAs. Depending on how much track you want.
The Stanza/B310 ball joint uses a larger diameter taper than B110.
Nissan Competition
10MM longer for increased negative camber
