Yeah I think we are on the same page. The change in 01 didn't affect the control arm. The 1995-2000 tacoma still use that top bracket and the link is a ball joint on the control arm side and stacked bushings on the sway bar side.

Seems very weird that they would make such a different sway bar setup for two nearly identical front ends. If the Tacoma setup performs better I don't know why it wouldn't have been changed on the 4runner too?
That's why I'm thinking there could be some sort of clearance issues that I am not thinking about.

Hopefully someone out here has tried the swap.
