Lower Arm Control (R & L)

[scherb]

Hi I am needing to change the Arm, Lwr Control R & L. I have contacted several sources and I have 3 differnet parts.

996-341-053 -16

996-341-053 -14

996-341-053 -07

I understand that these are all the same part. Different versions being -16 the latest. My question is what is the difference on these? materials changed?

As I understand it, the -06 was the first ending, beginning with MY-97. This was upgraded to -07, valid until MY-03. Beginning with MY-04, the extension started as -14. Don't know about -16. (BTW- both 986 and 996 models share the same part, there is no 986/996 difference).

If you have a pre-04 model, I assume you will need -07.

If you have a MY-04 model, I assume you will need -14.

There is a TSB on required upgrades to a 1997 for fitting 18" rims, as certain parts have to be reinforced. I don't know off-hand if the control arms were part of this and need replacement.

Maybe somebody else can comment.

Also call the parts department at the dealer, they can confirm any of this quite easily.

You can use one that ends in 06. It has an A in front of the part number which indicates that when the stock is used up then to use 07.

14 is for a 2004. I do not see 16 on the parts list.

Thanks got the 07 for $227 each. First quote was 301+tax... Brandywine came close but not as low as Sunset imports. Thanks Renntech!
