I'm a knucklehead. The numbers listed were for the front link (I
guess that's why I'm an ex-manager). However, the dating info is
correct. Cutting and pasting the first post, I'll make it applicable
to the rear suspension. Unfortunately, I think the part (-17040) is
still for the 93-95 MR2, not your earlier version. All the date spilts
are the same. I would check and see if the 48830-17030 supercedes to
the 48830-17040. It is certainly possible that they are the same
length (the critical part). Toyota does sometimes do part
consolidation so it could be the same part and number. In which case
that endlink becomes legal. Documentation, may not be required
on-site, since it would not be in a service manual or service
bulletin. A phone number to the local dealer and/or Toyota Motor
Sales, USA customer service line (800-331-4331) wouldn't hurt either.
Funny, how one doesn't forget some numbers. :^) And yes the fiche is
old, and I am older, too. I can tell you more about Speedvision,
though. :^)

>From production 9001 (Jan 90) to 9201 (Jan 92) all MR2s used
48830-17030. Non turbos then used 48830-17050 from 9201 to 9311 (Nov
93). They then went to a 48830-17040 in Nov 93. From 9201 and on,
turbos used 48830-17040. I do know that there were very distinct
changes in the rear suspension from the 91/92 MR2s to the 93-95 cars.
