Is the 4 banger & 5.0 stock A-Arm (front lower control arm) the same? I'm pretty sure my pssgr side A-Arm is bent an 1" or more, and the only fox mustang at the local yard is a 4cyl. Does anyone know if the v8 & 4cyl a-arm/front lower control arm have the same dimensions & strength???? Will a 4cyl balljoint hold up to the v8?

same stuff, it's the springs/struts that are different. However, you'll need to retain the v8 spindle, as that is different.
