Hello
How can I identify of the left or the right side of the wishbone?
The car is 1968, it looks really the same both side for me
PET shows 90134100500 and 90134100600

The two holes on top seem to be for anti sway bar mounts.

I believe they are interchangeable. Sway bar bracket bolts on. The shocks might be interchangeable also.
They are the same as are the strutsOriginally Posted by gled49

Those are not stock '68 control arms.
On '68 models, the bushings and mounting hardware was bonded to the arms, so were not interchangeable from side to side.

You are correct but I'm assuming that these have had the bushings burned off. Man!, I had piles of 68 control arms when I closed up. Nobody wanted them.

Jim, I also thought that was possible, but he's wondering why PET lists different part numbers for left and right.
That's why I referred to his control arms as "not stock" for a '68 model.

Again, you're, of course, spot on.
The control arms are idenitcal, but the orientation of the front and rear flanbloc angle varies from side to side. This is why they had a differnt number from side to side.

Brad, the '68 front control arms were different from side-to-side, which is why they had different part numbers.
The '68 fanblocs were bonded to, and integral parts of, the '68 control arms. The fanblocs differed from side-to-side, and differed from previous versions. They were not merely angled or oriented differently.
The '68 front support tube ("auxillary support") was also different from previous versions, due to the different type of fanblocs bonded to the arms.
Are you saying that the steel portion of the '68 control arms, with the fanblocs cut off, are identical to the previous arms?
