Post control arms

hard to replace?
where can i get good prices on new ones?

i only need to replace one, is it worth changeing it to steel or whatever instead of alluminum?and if i do decide not to get the alluminum ones, do i have to do both, or can i have one steel and one alluminum?

<a href="http://www.vertexauto.com" target="_blank">www.vertexauto.com</a> has great prices on A arms. The Steel arms will fit any 951 I guess but if you have a post 86 spindle the most neg. camber you'll get is 1.5 degrees (correct me if I'm wrong)

Only the 85.5 and 86 cars can use the steel arms as a substitute (non-abs cars, na or turbo). The steel arms with all accessories are almost identical in weight, so you *could* use just one. I don't think it'd be the greatest idea though. You can certainly replace only one aluminum arm at a time.

You might do well to check Dynamic European Technologies in Houston for their availability on A-arms. They advertise in Pano at ~$150 per rebuilt arm +/exchange. 713-661-2780

Easy to replace, but usually requires an alignment.

Good Luck!
