New lower control arm replacements

Will a lower control arm for a s10 fit our firebird? I've heard the only difference is the steering stop on them. Any truth to this?

A Hollander interchange manual is the bomb for stuff like this.
Im not real sure what all uses the control arm but it was several gm vehicles through the years.

the thing is if the steering stop is different it will not show up as being compatible

like I said, if the steering stop is different it won't show as being compatible. Unless I'm wrong

The steering stop was even different on 3rdgens for wheel sizes. Don't get to hung up on that unless you're looking for an exact replacement.
you can drill the rivets out and swap the stops if need be.
