btw my car is an RS,
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter but do the 2 parts have to be from an RS to replace them?

Yes and no. I believe the GS has different sized bushings, and the GS uses a halfshaft.

so, no, not really. But you could make it work.

Hey don't really know what that means, not that mechanically inclined yet its my dad who told me what parts I need, just making sure:
so can I use the Front Left Lower Suspension Arm, is it the same? Cuz I figure its the same on both...
As for the front left driveshaft, is that where the difference lies?

Okay.

The control arm is the big peice of metal that holds the wheel to the bottom of the car, and stops the wheel from moving foreward and back in the wheel well. I am quite certain the bushings where the arm meets the chassis are different between RS and GS.

the RS and GS passenger side axles are entirely different.


Just get RS parts for your RS car.

Any scrap yards? I'm in MB, and have those parts, I'm not tooo far. But I bet it would be over 30lbs which makes it out of CP's league.
