Title: Front Upper Wishbone Halves
Post by: BDA on Tuesday,March 21, 2017, 11:36:18 AM

I'm not using the stock front upper A-arms but I have two that I want to sell and I assumed that there are only two different parts and the A-arms on one side are the same as the ones on the other side only upside down. Now I find that's not true. There are four different part numbers for them. How do you tell which is which?

The mounting holes for the upper ball joint are at different angles.  If you look in the suspension portion of the workshop manual you should be able to see the angle at which the holes are drilled.
