Re: A-arms

Upper a arms are the same. The lowers are the same as long as they are also 1/2 ton.

Re: A-arms

Could you put the 72 ball joints in the 70 control arms?

Uppers fit regardless, bottom must be c/10 or c/20.

balljoints, spindles and outer tie rods must all match.
They break down as follows:
60-62
63-70
71-72
73-87
