Try amayama.com for the lower main OEM arms. Good prices and quick shipping from Japan.

Thanks, I saw you did a bunch of other work, since I am going to drop this off at the mechanic my 08' car has 80K on it, should I do engine mounts, tie rods, sway bar links as well?

Thanks for your help

I opted with ebay seller out of japan it costs $40 more but ayamma or whatever made me sign in through facebook and would rather pay the $40 extra for ebay protection and not to have facebook track me and advertise BS car related stuff All day long...

You can sign up to Amayama without using facebook, their website allows you to just sign up using an email address. Anyway, as long as you got it sorted, good luck..

Have you checked with Triple Creations? He provides very competitive pricing with fast shipment.

is this the ebay out AE dealer?

Anfanger

Yes, I got whole front suspension from him.

I appreciate it

Unless you are feeling vibrations when stopped or at low speeds I wouldn't think you need engine mounts yet. My OEM mounts made it to 155K before needing to be replaced. You may want to consider doing the tie rods and probably don't need the sway links. My sway links were actually pretty decent still at 155K, but I swapped them anyway because I already had the parts and the whole front suspension disassembled.

Great post LILEVO!

You covered everything I was confused about with the part numbers, and the torqueing with the wheels down, and the fit of the lower control arm that is not supposed to fit my 2007.
Thanks for taking the time.

Does anyone know if the left abd right, lower front comtrol arms are interchangeable?

Seems like they have two different part numbersnuutblook.to.be identical

jdanielca

which ones are the lower front? the one that added the metal bit above the bushings? if so then no they are not interchangeable, if they are they wont have different part numbers. and also i just had them changed...

No, they're definitely not interchangeable. The angles/curves, ball joint mounting point, wheel sensor wire bracket holes, etc. are all oriented specifically for Right and Left sides.
