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.

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.

Upgrading

Late 1200 vs Early 1200

Later utes

B310/A10

B310 (Sunny/210) LCA and A10 (Violet/Stanza) LCA are the same.

Stanza struts 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.

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.

Part Numbers

NOTE: All parts are identical for 1971-1973 models (including sedan, coupe, wagon and truck).

  • 54110-H1060 Transverse link ass'y R.H (formerly H1000)
  • 54111-H1060 Transverse link ass'y L.H (formerly H1000)
  • 54131-H1000 tranverse link bushing $10.83 USD

Thse parts also fits 1974-1975 B210 w/A12 engine.
