A-arm question

Hi guys :

Previous owner crashed the car , so , the previous owner replaced the passenger side a arm , the replaced look different and the ball joint was replaced too , because the new one doesn't have grease fitting.
If you inspect visually , the driver wheel of driver side (untouched a-arm) exits futher of the body than the passenger side (replaced a arm) wheel.
Now the question , are the IROC a-arms (16" wheels) different from Z28 a-arms (15" wheels) ? , i guess that.

Just for info , the car is originally packed with 16" IROC rims.

Thanks for the help

greets

There are three types of a-arms. Check the following link (post 14) for further info:
