What’s the difference between early and late

Posted by: Chi-town Apr 30 2019, 07:12 AM

There is no difference between early and late.

The only difference is sway bar tab or not.

I have a set with tabs and a set without if you need.

Only difference on A arms is with or without sway bar tabs. They are not early and late.

Didn’t some have a little tab to hold the ball joint from turning and some didn’t?

Functionally no difference, but early arms had the locating tab welded on, late arms had the tab punched & bent from the arm.

I prefer the bent tab, it doesn't break off like the tack welded one does if the ball joint spins while removing it.
