I'm trying to order Z28 front control arms for my SS. I'm building it as a dedicated track car so I want the best parts I can get for the suspension.

I ordered part numbers 23105014, 23105015, 23105018, & 21305019.

According to the casting numbers on the control arms it appears I got 92236898, 92236899, 20951300, & 20951301. The bushings on these have spaces in the bushings, I assume to soften the ride.

Can anyone tell me, or post a picture, if the Z28 control arms have the spaces?

My understanding is the only difference between the SS & Z28 control arms is the bushings.

I just want make sure I'm getting the correct parts before a raise a ruckus with Rock Auto.

Thanks Craig

I got u man will post em tomorrow. Same casting and confused me too but bushing is what makes the assembly.

The z/28 front ride link has white spacers in it vs the SS doesn't quick check there.

Insert is only difference. Z/28 is solid plastic vs spongy rubber insert. They both are removable.

Here are the rear front links and those are same between z/28 and 1LE but you can see the casting says 300. Not sure what SS bushing looks like. Have you done rear? That is a significantly bigger difference and tougher to get to. Knuckles are key on rear with yellow bushing.

I want to thank everyone that helped me out.

I think they are the Z28 control arms. It was a bit confusing the Z28 forward arms have a whitish center piece that you can see in the picture posted by RedhotLS1. The arms that cam off the car had similar color center pieces. The difference was the hardness.

Thanks again.
