Default 95 different than 02?

Is my suspension on my 95 firebird different than on a 02 firebird? I need to look into it more but just bought a project car and it seems the pass front tire is almost 2 inches farther back than the driver. Said the car was in accident so have to look into it more. but was wondering cause if the suspension is damaged i'll just put on a suspension from a 98-02. Thanks.

Take a look at the front passenger side lower control arm mount bolt/nut position in the caster adjustment slot, which is the rear mount point. Now compare it to the drivers side.
FYI, if the caster is set low the wheel will be farther back in the wheel well.

The brakes from the 98-02 are different but the a arms are the same. The k member has different engine mounts but the 02 parts will fit the 93-97 car. If you want to upgrade to aftermarket parts give me a call. We have several packages that might interest you.
