Don't know my Discos that well, the website says 1x 94 and 1x 99 plus there is one or two crushed ones in the boundary 'wall' that suspension arms could be retrieved from. There is also a Jackaroo.

94 is D1 IIRC and 99 is D2.
My preference isn't D1 arms - they are UNC hardware, bigger bolts and air suspension lugs and stuff on them. I prefer early (pre 1986ish) Rangie arms which are UNF and cleaner.
D2 are muchly better.

Steve125 and I went to pick a part today to scavange various bits.
Steve got a massive brake drum that he is going to turn in to a forge and make swords to upgrade N Koreas miliatary technology and a swift 90 degree thermostat housing.
I got 2 sets of thermos for my never never rear radiator, a spare wing mirror cover to replace the scratched one on my focus (except i got the wrong side), a hyundai power steer pump and plastic snappy resevoir, a visor for the focus again and some hinges to build sides for my tray.
We forgot to go back and get a g13 carby and failed to remove some jackaroo control arms that were as straighter than a lemon party but my ryobi rattle gun couldnt get the bolts moving and a breaker bar just rolled thw diff around.
We had no hope of gettinh the legit disco (s)two radius arms as it was on its belly in the corner having been inpaled by the forklift and cast aside against the fence.
Had an awesome time though, thanks Steve it felt good to be getting my hands properly dirty again.
Well not really thats just a metaphor.

Hektic day, rock, mud & bogans (pierced lips, neck tattoos and that was just the females).
re control arms, the '99 Disco 2 has all it arms in place, there is also an '82 Range Rover with fronts only and down the back fence is another D2 not on the stock list, looks like it rolled several times and is about to be made part of the wall of squashed cars along the boundary, you would need the forklift to flip the car over to access the arms (no rims, just sitting on the ground).
