Just a quickie, Does anyone know what the difference is between the NA and TT lower rear control arms??? (Besides the massive price difference) Obviously the hubs etc are different with the TT's to accomodate hicas ball joints, but the lower arms look the same? Can anyone confirm this Cheers Scotty
Nissan part numbers are different, but they appear to be the same. I'm 90% sure I have a TT lower arm on my NA subframe after I stuffed mine getting the bush our.
I don't have any personal knowledge regarding NA parts, but as there is a difference between NA Rear Sub-frames and TT Rear Sub-frames(see threads on "Changing TT to NA Differential")I suggest there may be a physical difference in the Lower Control Arms.
I dont think the subframes are all that different, the mounts for the diff etc to fit the r230 over the r200 and the mounts for the rear toe arms instead of hicas, other then that i cant see a dif in the lower arms..wouldn't have thought geometry would be different being as there from the same car i think the mounting points are the same spot too, Seems like a lot of effort and cost for tooling etc to make another part for the same car when they can just use the same one (If there different)
Another reason i think they may be the same... It seems the majority of aftermarket adjustable lower arms are universal between NA an TT
