Is there any difference in the C5 front a-arms from year to year?

I have a 99 FRC that I'm going to install ploy bushings on, and I have extra upper and lower arms. I would like to install the bushings on the extra arms so the car will not be down as long. I don't know the year of the extra arms but I believe there 05 or before.
Thanks
Dave

If they are 2005 that is a c6 year, 97-04 are c5.

Regarding the arms I have never come across anything that showed a difference.

However, because those arms are designed for an inclusive rubber bushing (oem bushings not sold separate) the tolerance on the bushing holes were not necessary to be "that" precise, the rubber is very forgiving.

So when you go to poly/delrin/spherical they should be hand fitted if you want them to really work right.

I have these, if they are of any use to you.

Like Froggy said, All C5 front arms and iron-frame C6 front arms are the same. The only difference is in the bushings, and that doesn't affect you since you have polys.

I think you are good, try to fit the poly so they turn fairly easy, mine are stiff, I wish I had trimmed them or something so they moved easier.
