getting another spec alignment today found out my lower front control arm is bent....
great so i need a new one i can only get 4.0 caster out of it everything is fine i do track the car so alignment has to be perfect so i dont favor a right turn over a left.
anyways now to the part i found a ap2 front lower control arm driver side for 100 dollars shipped problem is its a 2008 my car is a 2002 can anyone tell me if this will bolt up to my ap1? part is identical from appearance here is a link thanks fellas!

here is the link im thinking its the same control arm because coilovers and struts are for years 2000-2009.
so im thinking the control arms have to be the same?

 

i went ahead and ordered it i looked closely to the pics and to an ap1 control arm and they are identical the 2000-2009 on most front suspension parts makes it a peace of mind that there the same... thanks

 

There have been a couple parts obsolescences, but the current part number (51360-S2A-030) applies to all models and years.

You can always check those online parts sites, e.g.:

I'm pretty sure all the arms are the same at the front its the rears that changed from ap1> ap2

I bent my front left and could only get 4.0 caster as well I had upper and lower arm changed and its back to normal

given the size of the lower arm I'd say its more than likely the upper is bent but to be sure you can do both

 

What your post i do not know says it.

 

my lower control arm was bent. it was obvious to the naked eye. and by finger gaps compared to the other side on the lift. i installed took to get alignment all is well 6.0 caster both side thanks though guys. now i know. no need to change the other side all bushings are good, sway bar end links ect. so it would be a waste to replace both sides...
