all 2wd ones (wether it be mk1 or mk2, 3 door, 5 door, sapphire, estate) are the same and use a catle nut to holt the bottom ball joint into the hub
4x4 tca's use a pinch bolt to hold the bottom ball joint into the hub.

3dr ones are better.
According to one of my sources
, the TCA attaches at the top facing down, which means that when the front of the car is lowered, the TCA has less angle, and aids turn in.

oooooops my bad, same style of fitting for the bottom ball joint i meant to put above,
2wd hubs do vary in offsets from each type of sierra, same goes for 4wd ones aswell

i know for a fact that all 4wd ones have a pinch bolt and all the 2wd sierras i've seen have a castle nut - might be the 2wd cossie ones that have a pinch bolt too?

the 3dr hubs have a larger negative offset on the strut casting for the camber angles , 3dr hubs will give a larger negative camber to teh wheels when fitted , this also affects the rollcentre of the suspension centre line as well to a positive affect !!
