99734105304 = 997 lower control arm, the center bush seems different, so I'll likely need to change my tuning forks at the same time?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was watching TGE TV's video on his C4S and he apparently had 991 lower control arms fitted to the car, which makes me wonder, does anyone have any experience with this? The 991 arms are available from OE manufacturers like TRW and Lemfà¶rder, whilst the 996 arms seem like the best aftermarket option is Meyle, whom I have not had good dealings with in the past. 99634105317 = 996 lower control arm 99734105304 = 997 lower control arm, the center bush seems different, so I'll likely need to change my tuning forks at the same time? 99134105303 = 991 rear lower control arm, looks 100% the same as the 997 part in pictures 99134134102 = 991 front conrol arm. General dimensions look similar, but the shape is totally different

POST 2Original post

I read that too... is there any advantage other than the manufacturer? I've used Meyle parts recently (lower arms and diagonal arms), they all fitted fine and set up well when the geometry was done. I recall there was a bad batch in the past but hopefully all gone now.

POST 3Original post

I've had Meyle coffin arms on my 997 since June with no problems. As good as OE to my untrained senses.
