So just earlier i had my first wreck in my s14. I was going to fast for the drift I attempted and slid into a curb bending the **** out of my lower right control arm and tie rod. Maybe some other stuff but i havnt gotten a chance to really look at it. My question is that can I get S13 front suspension parts from a junkyard that will bolt onto my S14. I know they are both s chasis but i was wondering if the front suspension was the same so i could fix the problem. Thanks

The S13 and S14 is somewhat interchangeable. The fronts will work from an S13 but the rear will not. Now the lower control arms will work for any S chassis. as will the tie rods. You should be able just to bend the tie rods back with some elbow grease. I roll around with one of each every night due to the fact that i have destroyed so many lower control arms and tie rods. litteraly only takes me 10 min. to change and im back to bangin corners.

The front suspension pieces dont interchange. The S14 Lower control arm and Tension rods are both longer than the S13 pieces, the ball joints are different and the steering stops function differently.

On the rear end, the lower control arm and front upper control arm interchange but the rear upper control arms are different (not sure about the rear toe link but I think they interchange)

Are you serious man. I have changed the S13 with everything from a Laurel, R32, R33, S14, cefiro. You name it and i have changed it and YES the front tie rods, lower control arms are interchangable. Wait u must be thinkin about... Nevermind that **** might be different in the states. But in answer they are very much so interchangeable IF you have the right ones.
