Default WS6 Lower Control Arm Help

I bought new Moog ball joints and bushings and saw one of my lower control arms needs replacing. I called a local salvage yard and he said there were three different lower control arms for a 1997 trans am. I thought all the trans am lower control arms were the same just the bushings on ws6 cars were stiffer. He said he had a f41 lower control arm and I know my RPO code is FE2. I hope someone can shed some light on this. I have new bushings and ball joints I just need the control arm. Thanks for any help.

On our Inventory system its listed like this :

1 1993-02 susp opt F41........................
2 1993-97 w/o susp opt F41; perf pkg (opt 1LE)
3 1993-97 w/o perf pkg......

If in your glove box you do not have an f41 code its not that one, if you do not have the 1LE code its not that one. So that goes to the one without performance package.

The metal part of the control arms should be identical, I was to understand that the f-41 was shocks, swaybar and bushings.

Yes the arms are the same, just the bushings were different. I went through this a few years back and GM told me it was just the bushings that were different.
IF you need a arm lmk I have several arms since yours is bad. Pm me if for what side and I can get that out to ya.
