knuckle arm + lower control arm

Hey there peeps,
Ok long story, ill try to make it as short as possible..
Last week i bought some ra28 struts with the idea that they would fit directly into my ke70 after changing top hat, quick brake upgrade. Recently after trying them I've found that the knuckle arm (steering arm) needs changing. My assumptions for a direct fit were based on the fact that they are a direct fit to an AE86.
Now I'm left at a point where I'm not sure what to do. I know there are many different model cars with knuckle arms that sport the same strut mounting size, but after reading a few tech guides and finding i need a press to change a knuckle arm alone, I've found it will be alot easier to just change the lower control arm at the same time.
What I need from all you smart toymodders out there is advice on what steering arm and lower control arm combo would suit me best. I'm looking for the least throw out on my steering, but if possible, WITH least throw out on steering, a bit of neg camber wouldnt hurt  .
Cheers,
Kev.

Surely you are just able to remove the knuckle from the steering ball joint and the ball joint on the lower control arm and then you are able to change it. You can on a 23 so why would a 28 be any different

But how to get it back in is the question... Anyway back to the point at hand people, I have been offered a corona st141 lower control arm and steering arm, this is a car that is almost identical to the corolla and I'm thinking the proportions of those parts should be identical too. The person that offered them to me actually tested it on a sprinter strut too, so its a definate fit to my ra28 strut... Any thoughts anyone?
Cheers,
Kev.

XT-130 not XT-141, your getting mixed up between my steering arms and my rear brake disks.
