Hey, I have a 1986 Nissan 300Zx(T) Auto/ 2+0 Red coupe / Non-Leather interior 186k miles. I have just recently sold it to my brother for 500 and I'm currently trying to fix it up. I had an accident about 4 months ago on the front left tire and trying to fix it up. It has a broken tension rod, 45 degree bent transverse link (control arm), broken strut and broken sensor (for adjustable suspension). Luckily, my Anti-sway Bar is good, rack-and-pinion seems ok (outer tie rod end, no bends or cracks to my knowledge), the arm knuckle, caliper, rotor, brake line, tension bracket, etc. all good. I'm a newb to cars and did me best to take it all off (which I did) and just realized the hard part just started.
My question is what suspension parts are interchangeable from 84-86 from 2+2 to 2+0? I know 87-89 control arms are 10mm longer than 84-86 and gives a positive camber of 0.4 degrees Link:

What about a control arm from a 1986 ZX NA 2+2? The only reason I'm doing this is because I found one on RockAuto.com for $105 and comes with a ball joint and its from NA 2+2.It's going to be a daily car for non-track / non-racing etc. Just got this from RockAuto.com so far:

Is there a post related to this that could possibly help me out? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Based on what I read, Evil and AZ-Azbum seem to be the most knowledgeable people. No offense to anyone at all.
