Early 944 Steel Control Arms on '87 951?
Will the early 944 Steel Control Arms, that have factory replacable ball joints, fit on an '87 951 without any spindle modification? 
I am looking for a suitable alternative to a)rebuilding my control arm ball joints. b) buying $1,600 Charlie Arms that have spherical bearing that will need replaced periodically with street use, ie: rain, dusty roads, etc. Any suggestions.

I know that they are different sizes. I believe the spindles would need to be changed. Yes. 85.5 control arms aren't compatible with 87 944ts arms, and i believe pre 85.5 non-turbo arms are incompatible with 85.5 turbo arms. Check Paraon, their site should clear it up. You should also check Clarks garage.
