I have an 89-90 stamped arm crossmember, can I use the 91+ cast arms on this crossmember?
Thanks!

They should bolt right in. I've made the swap from later arms to earlier arms with no problem. I believe the only issue would be with the later, larger Dynasty and 5th Avenue. Those cars with the heavier axles had a different K frame and arms from what I've read.
Dynasty has the same k frame (minus the bobble strut bracket). Arms and knuckles are different.
Thanks Gentlemen.
What's the difference with the arms and knuckles?Quote:

I looked it up and they showed different part number IIRC. The k frame was the same part number as all the other automatic k car k frames. I'm putting a dynasty dual pivot k frame in my lancer.
That's interesting. I definitely recall someone posting pictures years ago of the Dynasty arms no fitting a K frame. perhaps the guy's K frame was just messed up, but that does strike me as odd.Quote:

According to the ever reliable Wikipedia, there was a wheelbase change in 91. That's probably when they used the different arms.

In the knowledge center there is a write up on the crossmember and control arms. There seems to be a small difference. Check it out
Thanks, I have forgotten about that article.Quote:
