Lewis are you refering to the info from another thread? http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/chassis ... t5192.html I think you might be confused as 2WS and 4WS lower arms are interchangeable between cars of the same generation.

I dont know if the LCA's are interchangeable between generations. :?

Yeah and No Merlin. Im so sure ive been told somewhere the LCA's can also be inter-swapped. Investigation is needed 8-)

Right then lets clear this one up seeing as though I had the call :lol:

4th gen and 5th gen rear LCAs are interchangable 100% and it also doesn't matter whether they are 2ws or 4ws - both will fit.

I'm glad you managed to answer your own question about one being straight and one being bent...that was close to being a :facepalm: ;)

The reason you find that OEM part numbers are different (for the two arms) is because they are sold with the bushes installed - 5th gen have a modified inner bush (which actually is no improvement over the 4th gen), the actuall arms are the same.
5th gen inner OEM bushes are not available to buy seperately from Honda so you have to use 4th gen inner if you wanted to just replace the bush.
