Rear control arms

Post by LI NEON 72 » Sun Mar 11, 2012 10:46 pm

Can someone with a 2000 look under or take a photo of there left side rear control arms? Im having a problem it looks like the Ls rear arm is facing the wrong way? I see other post pics and the left side looks the same as the right side. My left rear seams to be facing the wrong way but according to the prothane install guide its right.

The arms are the same part number for both sides. One side is installed facing one way, and the other side is flipped.

If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

Oops sorry. I meant the op's but Dante yours is sweet! I got the ugly 00-01 front bumper cover. I love the way his looks with that lip kit! If it is seriously the 03-05 lip I best jump on that before they are gone!

Danteneon thanks for the pic. I saw another one on here and the LR arm was facing the opposite way.iwas having a problem with the height turns out the bc coilover is blown. Thanks it is the 03-05 lip. To get it to fit right I had to take off almost an inch on both sides and reattach the ends for it to look original.

do you know if you can have the BC coilovers fixed or if it is possible to just buy one if you get one damaged?
