Hey guys....I went to autozone to get that curved loweer control arm. All they had was the control arms for the 2-wheel drive or the RS model. Now I have a 95GSX will this part fit my car? I know that if it doesn't say that it is for my model car I shouldn't buy it. However my GSX has vented brake rotors on the rear and the dealer says that they are suppose to be the solid ones. Are these control arms inter-change able?
Sorry for the dumb question and thanx for the asistance.
 
To my knowledge they are, Atleast for the gst. I once needed a rear wheel bearing and they said they only had one for the gs and after sitting there explaining to her that they are the same if it's fwd she finally sold me the part LOL. But I'm 99% sure the ball joint is the same in a GSX.

the front ball joints should be the same (dubbed "curvy" and "stright"). Also, EARLY 95's got the vented rotors in the rear. Tell him to look them up for a 1g car. I had to go through the same process. I think cars built up until October 1994 got the vented rear rotors; then cars after October got the solid ones.
 
Got it..... thanks a bunch guys, and thanks for the info on the rotors too.

hey guys....does anyone know the size for the bolt that connect the compression arm to the car. I seached and couldn't find the info.
Thanks
