My control arm is bent bad. I found some good deals at junk yards around the area! What I need to know is does it matter what year of the car I get the control arm from? Or can I even get one from a cougar? Finally is the arm different from the non svt models?? I was also wondering how hard it would be to do it myself and what other parts I would need to replace it, bolts, bushings ect.. Thanks for everyones help!

Any 01/98 onward front lower control arm from the same side should fit, but since they are only about $60 I'd personally buy new.
