early vs late front LCAs?
What is the difference between the early (82-early83) vs late (late83-92) F-body front control arms/bushings?
I have a set of ’83 control arms, how do I tell if they’re early or late?
Is there any advantage in using the early or late control arms? I have a set of ’83 arms off the car that are in great shape, which would be easy to rebuild/clean up/install bushings and then swap for what is on the car at once. I also have 2 sets of ’87 arms on the cars but I’d have to take them apart and neither are in as good a shape as the ‘83s, it will take more work to make them look decent.

Re: early vs late front LCAs?
Huh... OK, bushing sizes and steering stops...
how do the later cars tend to have more room for more caster adjustment?
