Quick Question About MR2 Parts

I haven't gotten concrete answers as of yet, and the dealership can't say yes to my question, but can I put 92 parts on a 91 Mr2?
Right rear Toe-Arm (Trailing Arm) needs to be replaced and I can't find one ANYWHERE, yet, the dealership says they can order up a 92 toe-arm, but not a 91. And from my knowledge, thus far, they're relatively the same.
So, can anybody help me out?
-Thanks!-

Thanks for the input. This will help me widen my search method a little. And any little bit helps.
Back to the other matter at hand, I don't know how you guys find parts for your MR2, but I'm just hitting brick walls looking for that toe arm. Everybody calls it something else, and I just had parts come into me from California, that took a week, and even after I said "adjustable toe arm" and told them where it was, I got the control arms instead. I've never seen a part with as many names as a mountain lion.

When you're behind the car, and look underneath, it's the two rods on both sides of the frame that look like tie rods, kinda. They're right there, you can't miss them.

Yeah, this would be the part with a thousand names. Two different Toyota dealerships called it two different things when they got down there to look at it, everybody and their sister have different names for it, and well, I say use duct tape and chewing gum, but it's not my car. haha
I'd like to know where to get this, even the salvage yard I deal with can't get the right part, even when I paint them a picture.
So, I'm fresh out of ideas. :eek7:

WHOOPS! all 1991-1992 MR2 parts are the same.
1993 had different:
:) front traction rods(what toyota calls strut rods)
:) strut rod brackets
:) rear toe control links
:) rear cross member
:) different disks and calipers
:) different springs
