Control Arm

[Ihearrtdsm]

Would a 2g GSX control arm fit a 2g GS? I found some cheap ones for a GSX but I don't want to buy them if they will not work for my car.

Yes, they are the same.

See how your question was answered. I would feel like i'm hijacking your thread.

How would you go about getting the control arm in to the steering knuckle. If you are putting it in yourself. When i try to tighten the nut it just spins. What do I have to do to get it the rest of the way on.

You could try putting a jack under it to press it tight into the knuckle so it doesn't spin.

Or the ghetto way is to hold it with a vicegrips (under the knuckle) while you tighten it.

when i tried the jack. and the c clamp gets in the way when I would try to tighten it. i have heard of heating it. is that something i should stay away from.

Is it for the rear? I probably have an extra control arm from a gst? Pretty sure it's the same.

upper or lower? if upper, just put the wheel on & lower the car till it's got some weight on it ( you can lower the car all the way if you really want )then start the nut & tighten it till it is tight, raise the car, remove the wheel again & torque the nut down. :)

Considering it's a 2G I'm going to have to say it is the lower he is talking about. All 2G lowers are garbage.
