Suspension Question
 
I ordered some of the Steeda Lower Control Arms off of AM for my 2003 GT a while back, and now I'm working on a new project (a 1996 Coupe) and I'm wanting to know if they are the same part. I know on the AM site...they have different part numbers but look exactly the same.

These are mine

These are the others

Thanx guys!

bolt sizes are different for 96-98 vs 99-04. 12mm vs 14mm shank bolts. That's why theres these part number things, to let you know there's a difference.

EDIT: and poly at both ends on LCA's is the suck sauce. spherical at the axle, poly at the chassis for best results.

OK...I just wasn't sure if it would require a little modification or not. I originally bought them for my 03 and when it got repod...I hadn't put them on yet so they've been lying around the garage. I figured I might be able to throw it on one of my other 3 Mustangs but apparently not. They are craigslist bound...thanx for the input!

if you bought them for an 03 you can use them on any older car by simply drilling out the mounting holes on the chassis and axle ends and using the larger bolts or by replacing the bushing packs on the arm with 12mm. Don't dispair, I was being sarcastic.
