90q and 4000q interchangability

same:

control arms
ball joints
rear subframe
sway bar and links
strut bearings

different:

springs (will fit but different stiffnesses)
strut housings (one piece vs. two piece)
rear tie rods (they look different, at least)

not sure:
bearings
hubs
front subframe (swaybar mount is a bit different - but also I believe
the tranny mounts are different, the 90Q is "over/under" like the rear,
the 4kq mounts from the top on both sides)
front tie rods

Was there something specific you wanted to be able to swap?  If so let
me know and I can look closer.
