Tony,

Gotta be careful with these mix-and-match parts. I got mine from JPL, and they fit very well. What I had done was to call a bunch of different control-arm vendors and ask them to fax me a tracing of the part, and other dimensions, which many did. JPL's fit nicely, were excellently welded, even included a tool for drill alignment, and were priced well.

Be careful about swapping left side to right, etc, as IIRC, the arms are not symmetrical. You could throw off the caster, etc, although with the arm flipped upside-down as well, you may be okay.

I'm using Carrera's as well, so if you have spring-mount probs, perhaps you have the wrong spring? Compare the part # on mine.

Cheers,
-Neil.
