Nothing fit right with mine. The motor mounting holes on the drivers side were drilled in the wrong position. My passenger side A arm is still too short. About 1/2" too short. I had to buy a special rod end that would make the A arm long enough to align my front end. Slots were too wide in the K member making it very sloppy. You have to buy longer bolts that attach the K member to the frame. They don't tell you what size or length. In fact no instructions at all. My strut mount on the passenger side was welded wrong and the strut body rested on the tube causing noise. I had to use washers under the strut to clear. This was after I had it aligned. My alignment is probably off now. Their junk rod ends still make noise. I lube them with oil every 200 miles to help.
PA told me to send the A arms back and they would make me a new passenger A arm. I asked them to just make one factory length or 1/2" longer than the one I had so my car wouldn't have to be down for two or more weeks. They had no idea what factory length was or even what length the one was they sent me. Apparently no engineering drawings were used to make these parts. They must have used an incorrect fixture. They still owe me $20 for the correct rod end I had to buy and for another alignment that I should have done.
Don't buy PA!
