Default Anyone have extra front A-Arms they don't need?

well, I realize this is probably a big long shot but I was wondering if anyone had a pair of 993 front A-arms with bushings in good condition available for sale cheap?

Hi,
Could you try to get the part number off yours and I'll check in my corner.
If the ones I was offered carry the same part number, It'll only cost u only shipping from france.

The number you have is 993 341 018 01.
I will check tomorrow or tuesday if the ones I was offered for free carry the same part number.
If so, I will check the cheapest shipping to IL, will keep you posted.

I think the left and right might have a slightly different part number. It makes sense that I couldn't tell a 0 from an 8 with all the dirt built up.

Default Wow!

I can't believe how awesome this place is sometimes!!! Anyone else have a driver's side??? One of my bushings is shot too. I looked on Pelican and the part numbers are as follows:

Control Arm, Left Front, each, 911 Carrera 2/4/Turbo (1995-98)
993-341-017-00-M100

Control Arm, Right Front, each, 911 Carrera 2/4/Turbo (1995-98)
993-341-018-01-M100

Strangely enough the driver's side is $546.75, while the passenger side is $476.00. I wonder what gives there?

The MSRP for either side is $412.40USD according to the July price list. PCNA may have raised the price since but you are still being charged ~MSRP. I would shop around they will be available for a LOT less.

in my case the driver side is in worse shape but both sides are trashed (the bushings) due to all my track use I'm sure

I'm not sure if it's possible but can you replace the bushings with Urethane or similar? Regardless, I have 2 front left A-arms with questionable bushings available for super cheap ($150 shipped) for any interested.

There is a manufacturer of hardened bushings for 993's in the UK. Might fill your need while giving you a extra bite for your track time. Much cheaper too. If you get 911 & P world, they did a report on the company and the replacement of these bushes as a DIY... about 2 years ago IIRC

Cannot find the name yet but the search is on!
