Lower control arm question

[kvadim]

im looking for a lower left control arm for 1999 V6 Galant. Search in Google and Ebay gives me these 3 results. What is the difference between them and which one should I go with?

If you're talking front suspension, it's the first one. Most of those eBay listings are wrong about the year range on the Galant. They seem to think the 7G was produced until 1999 model year.

yes the front end. I went to the shop today to have the control arm replaced and when they received the part it was the straight one which of course didnt fit. Then I went to Napa Auto and they tried to sell me same part. I understand if ebay listings are wrong, but why even the stores and shops have it wrong??

Just look it up for a 2000-2003 Galant in that case. Trust me, that last two suspension components do NOT belong on an 8G, even in the rear.

i wish they did because the right one is 4x more expensive :/
will the one from eclipse fit and is it the same on the I4 model?

Try these sites bro...

mitsubishiparts.com (https://www.mitsubishiparts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html)

partstrain.com (http://www2.partstrain.com/store/?Ne=28&N=1676+11327+4294967016+5566[/url)

Search for the 2000 Galant for real. Quoting 1999 seems to confuse some sites/people.

Make sure that you note that the GTZ control arms are different then the regular v6's and i4's. Also if you get one from an Eclipse make sure you get one off of an i4 because the v6 eclipse has the same control arm as the GTZ galant.

The first picture is the correct part and you have to get it from the dealer. They are about $300 bucks. Wish you could just change the ball joints but you cant, I think that stupid.

You're wrong about being able to change the balljoints... you can definitely do that.

exactly. You can press them out with a machine.
And the lower control arms are really cheap , and they come with a new ball joint in them at : www.mitsubishiparts.com

I looked your up and it would be $157.75 shipped ground to your door UPS and there OEM mitsu parts. I kno i ordered all kinds of parts from them.
