yes, s-10 uppers and lowwers on a mazda drop spindle.

the s-10 upper has a longer stem which might be why it may fit both.
mike white would know more about this than i would..

no toy spindles on my truck.

I posted earlier about having BYC arms. Great arms and they can be made anyway you want. Pretty easy to install exept for getting out the bushing, and that u would have to do for any control amrs for a mazda.

theres a different GM balljoint that also fits the Toyota and Mazda upper spindle and needs less shims than the S-10 balljoint, its an autodrive (moog) #5108, the S-10 # is 5208

Phil, I solved the crossbar thing, Im adding a small bung to the plates to compensate fot the angled plate on the Mazda frame. and im also switching to the screw in style lower balljoints as well. they cost me twice as much but the sleeve is thicker and they look better too.

Im also changing the inner sleeve on the lowers to use a different threaded sleeve. just minor improvements but anytime I can make my parts better i will.

I need some of those install pics for my website phil... hint hint

So Mike, do you know of a screw in upper balljoint that will fit a Mazda spindle? maybe one that would fit a Toy spindle as well?
