Is there any difference in these and the stock LCA's for the Sport model?

 

Nope. They're identical.

 

Bump. I'm sure there's someone out there who needs these.

 

Kind of a newb question but when are these needed. I am putting on a tf 2.5 lift from a 4 door on my 2 dr.

 

These stock control arms would be useful if you're looking to replace a damaged stock arm or if you're moving back to a stock setup in preparation for a trade-in, warranty service at the stealership, etc. Given that you're about to install a lift, I doubt you need these.

By the way, I have the same TF lift on my 2-door. Expect to get at least 3.5" out of it. If the steering feels a little "flighty" after the lift is installed, consider replacing your stock front lower control arms with a set of adjustable arms. That'll improve the caster, which should help with the steering.

Also, if you have an automatic and you plan to wheel with the swaybar disconnected, start thinking about a new front driveshaft. With any lift over 3", the boot on the front driveshaft has a tendency to get ripped off on the corner of the transmission pan. Once the shaft starts spewing grease, its days are numbered.

I know you only asked about the stock control arms, but I figured I share this info in case you didn't know what you were getting into.

 

Thank you for this response. I was wondering if anything else would be required. Now I know!

 

Bump. I need to get rid of these.

 

Weekend bump.

 

Gone! Thanks for looking.
