control arms and trailing arm differences? 200 1988

Hello all

I have a 1988 245 wagon. I replaced the TAB's some time back, and attempted to replace the rest of the rear bushings. The trailing arms appeared to start breaking so I aborted the install. Because this car is used for work, I can not afford to have it out of commission.

Are the control arms, trailing arms and torqe rods different between the years of 240's? Or are these parts matched to the car?

My idea is to go to the junkyard get the above items, clean them up and install the bushings when i get the chance. Then I would spend an afternoon bolting the finished components into the car.

Is this doable? Thanks in advance.

Joe
