Front Control Arms Interchangablity

Does anyone know for certain if the factory front control arms for a 1988 Camaro IROC was the same as the ones on the 1988 Firebirds T/A and Formulas with the WS6 suspension?

Yes they are the same.

82 to 83 arms were slightly different and require different bushings.

Re: Front Control Arms Interchangablity

IIRC, there is also a difference in steering stops between models with 15" and 16" wheels on the 84-92 arms. That makes three variations: 82-83, 84-92 w/ 15", 84-92 w/16".
