    Front Lower Control Arm Lenth

    Can anyone tell me the length of the pin drive front, lower control arms as compared to the standard front lower control arm measuring from the grease fitting to the center of the mounting hole? Is there an easier way to tell the difference between the two? Thanks

    I think the pin drives are 13 and the regular are 15.

    Standard width are 15" overall and the gussets where the legs of the "A" meet the bushing sleeves are to the inside.

    Pin drive width are 13" overall and the gussets where the legs of the "A" meet the bushing sleeves are to the outside.

    Jeff, thank you so very much. Is there any chance you can send me a picture to help me clarify the measurement? I should have the pin drive versions. Thanks

    Thanks Jeff. Mine are certainly closer to 13" than 15". I am guessing the UCAs are the same for both. Joel

    Yes, the uppers are the same for both standard and pin drive width however the spindle adapters are different.
