Lower Control Arm changes from 92 to 94?
Lower Control Arm changes from 92 to 94?
Hi,
I have a 94 1.6L Mx-3 and I damaged the right-hand-side lower control arm in a recently accident. It turned out to be a rare part to find but i was lucky enough to locate a used one on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RH-FRONT ... enameZWDVW" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
However it was for a 92, so i would like to know if it will fit on my car? I think it's highly unlikely that Mazda changed such a robust/durable part during that 2 years but i just would like to confirm.
Thank you very much.

I know the ball joint is different. The shaft that goes into your wheel hub has a smaller diameter than the 93 on up,,,possibly.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

tehbrookzorz, u almost got me. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Ryan, i would assume so... this is nyc... but i have never been to one yet...
Daninski, thanks for the info.
I have emailed the seller the same question. But he might be biased, given his motivation to sell.
Thanks to everyone for the fast responses. Anyone else?

4gotn, unfortunately they don't have it in their online store. i will call local store tomorrow.
thank you so much, i don't think i have come across this site before, while googling for parts online. this is so much better and more intuitive to use.

Re: Lower Control Arm changes from 92 to 94?
Hi 4gotn,
Thanks for the kind words.
I called the NJ store at the following address and they couldn't find it either.
175 Broad Ave.
Fairview, NJ 07022-1545
However the person was nice enough to let me know the part number:
Mevotech ms9680
And i found it on this website (although it didn't say it's compatible with MX-3s):
http://frugalmechanic.com/auto-part/782 ... ontrol-arm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Could you please confirm that is what i need?
edit: and the ebay seller came back to me saying the 92' lower control arm won't work on my car (94).

Re: Lower Control Arm changes from 92 to 94?
you need to go down there in person
its a special order item that they CAN get
they need payment up front so just go ahead and go up there
they wont want to call the corporate office with you on the other line...its sort of rude to other customers to be on the phone when they need help
