    .... Whilst both LCA's look the same when quickly looking at them, there appears to be a left and right one, has anyone noticed this before? If so how (obviously if they've still got caster rod marks on them you can see, but if they're squeaky clean you cant tell) do you determine left from right?

    I THINK that they have L and R stamped underneath, but i may be wrong.

    Trial and error would be the way to go, the only differences would be castor rod / swaybar holes i think.

    I haven't worked on one for a while so this is all from memory.

    I put some corona arms in and they were stamped L and R. I can't say that I paid a lot of attention to the original ones but I would expect the same markings.

    i think also, when you remove the tube that holds the inner bush in, the holes are different sizes. bigger at the front for the larger part of the bush

    this was the case on the xt130 arms i have......

    Javal is right - they use the same bush. I put nolothane bushes I'd bought much earlier for the ae86 into the corona arms before installing them.
