Difference between chassis TCR20 / TCR21

gromit · 16th March 2008, 01:47 PM

Hi, i am looking to get replacement suspension / brakes for my '91 4WD Estima. I have located modified parts on a USA website but the chassis number starts with TCR20 instead of TCR21 (my chassis number). Does anyone know if these parts would fit. Thanks

I think the 21 part means it's a G spec if I remember when I looked into it some time ago, ie better trim. Hopefully some one can can confirm this?

this might be of use its from the american previa repair manual,TCR20L looks like it means its 4x4.

looking at the picture above i would say it meant left hand drive

Its an American manual they are all left hand drive, I think gromit was asking about the numbers TCR20 and TCR21 .In the picture TCR20 refers to four wheel drive or all trac (which I think is an American term for all wheel drive)

from what I understand based on TRD Japan's suspension list and looking through various pics of estimas:
TCR/CXR10 = 2WD with middle row bench seat
TCR/CXR20 = 4WD with middle row bench seat
TCR/CXR11 = 2WD with middle row captain seats
TCR/CXR21 = 4WD with middle row captain seats

And the rear suspension is different between the 7 and 8 seat versions - the 7 seaters have independent rear suspension, whereas the 8 seaters have solid rear axles.

That is, if it conforms to the same numbering system and layout as the narrow body CXR (diesel) types.

So rear TCR20 parts won't fit a TCR21.

my TCR10W is a 7 seater (bench seats), but has a solid rear axle

I was thinking about those last night, a rare bus I knew they existed but nobody's ever owned one that I can think of.

OK, substitute "Bench seats" for "8 seater" for the US variants - I suspect they are the same as our 8 seaters, but with fewer seatbelts and different upholstery.
Out of interest, does the middle row turn around in those?
and if so, is it a 50/50 split, or 35/65, as on our 8 seaters?
