    lower control arm help

    i was looking online and calling stealerships to see if i can find the piece that connects to the back of the front lower control arm where the rear bushing is.the 1st dealership i called said that there are 2 different part numbers 1 for the dx and 1 for the lx. the next one i called said the same but told me one said soft and the other is hard. im guessing the lx=hard and dx=soft. now i have the poly zx2 kit. so heres my question

    if i order the dx(soft) and take that bushing out and put my polys in would it fit in my lx?

    the reason i ask this is cause there is a $30 difference. if its just the stiffness of the bushing i'll just order the dx. because the poly is going in that bushings place. but if there is a size difference then i will order the lx one.
    thanks

    do you have any idea what your showing us??? thats a 626 suspension design. definitely not a BG

      i already had the bushing put in. i just need the bracket that holds the rear bushing into place that slips over the threaded stud that is at the rear of the control arm.

      the 626 control arm is the top and the pro is below it. the bushing bracet im talking about is the one that i put an arrow to. the bracket i need is the one that fits over the bushing that they show as number 5.

        I fully understand what your talking about... (previously unknown two me) there are 2 different bracket sizes for that piece you marked..... I went to ge tmy poly bushigns pressed today.... nope... not gonna happen. energy suspension only provides a bushing that is compatible with the earlier style bracket which is smaller.... I need to update my poly bushing thread list.

        best bet is go jyshopping till you can find the right bracket.

          Does that diagram mean that the only differences in the suspension between 323 & 626 are the control arms? The spindles and hub assembly's are the same?

          Hmmm...can you confirm this, turpro?

            highly doubtful that the 626 lower arm is identical.

                my bad man... no the 626 suspension is completely different tho.. similar but not quite.
                hubs/spindles are different.
