okay..so i baught an ap1 for 6k not so long ago...salvage of course
(salvage due to hit in the quarter panel was repaired seller had all receipts)
56k miles

i was recently involved in a hit and run wich made me to spin in cirlces a couple times
i hit the curb wich caused my rear wheel to fall off causing damage to the suspension (rear passenger side)
so i went ahead and purchased what i needed...knuckle assembly...lower and upper control arm...caliper...axle...tie rod...
almost done with everything and i noticed the tie rod isint lining up... could this be because i am using a left tie rod on the right side
or could my subframe be bent?


if i put it into the subframe first and then the knuckle..it will not go into the knuckle...

 

Are you sure you got all AP1 replacement parts? AP2 rear suspension is different

 

yeah i noticed when i baught the upper control arm from an ap2 it didnt fit..everything lines up except the tie rod....going to purchase one for an ap1...for the passenger...side and if its still the same my subframe is most likely bent

 

anyone have any experience trying to interchange armsap2 arms?...left and right anyone?

 

52340-S2A-003 This part number is 00-09 including the club racer ap1 and ap2 are the same for the Toe ARM.

 

thanks for the information now i just have to find out if right and left are interchangeable

 

okay so i did some research and what i have found is that the left and right might not be interchangeable
this link shows two part numbers one for the left and one for the right

if they were interchangeable im assuming it would be like the end link one part number for both sides (#8)

 

turns out they are interchangeable left and right ap1 and ap2 wich leads to my subframe being bent

 

subframe was bent
replaced it...



just a note for anyone upgrading to ap2 subframe


only things you will need is front upper control arms from and ap2
everything else bolts up
including knuckles
