Hi,

While installing a Whiteline 18mm rear swaybar I noticed that the left and right lower control arms are NOT symmetrical!
The Passenger side one was beautiful and straight
The Driver's side one was reversed and had a curve in it.

I don't think this was caused by an accident or whatever - I think it may be designed like that.
Is it meant to be like this? Why is it like this?

Regards,
Nick

yeah but the left and right are interchangeable..
the rib is facing the opposite direction..

ie.. one is a extravet and intervert
