Lower suspension arms

[Nofio]

Hi everybody... I have recently purchased a Fiesta ST, and one of its MOT advisories is the front lower suspension arms. So I went to do it myself and purchased a pair on eBay, promising they would fit. So I went to do the work, only to find someone had rounded all the bolts off. So couldn't do it, so took it to a garage.

They managed to get the bolts off and went to use my part, and it didn't fit. So he assumed I ordered the wrong ones. He then ordered his own set but found the ones he ordered are the same as mine and wouldn't fit.

So questiin is how do i get the corr3ct one

To be honest all lower control arms look the same🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm guessing the issue is ID of the small bushing. Arms are the same Fiesta vs Fiesta ST except small bushing.

Did you order control arms for a “Fiesta” (base) or the “ST” specific ones? The ST arms take a larger front bolt and the incorrect base model arms won’t fit on the ST (and vice versa). eBay sometimes is misleading as you’ll see an ad listing compatible with all years and trims even if there are different parts across models
