Lower A-arm Shafts

I replaced the passenger with a Moog unit. I had to get another driver lower a-arm off of a fellow board member. The driver a-arm was new unused stock unit with a shaft installed unused.

Is there any reason at all to swap this one to a Moog unit as well? I figure they are pretty basic components; however, I have the other shaft as I bought it before I knew the entire arm was trashed.

No. Use the new one as is.

Re: Lower A-arm Shafts

ANY A-arm pivot shafts!

IMHO..use the one you got that's rebuilt but DO run it to a FE shop and
have them check the install (a good shop that knows what they're doing).
These things are finicky...you'll probably need an alignment anyway so...

This was learned from personal experience.
