My front suspension doesnt look right. Mismatched?

[Chomorro]

I know a shady tree body shop worked on this car before I purchased it. Found out after purchasing unfortunately so I have been fixing everything they did wrong one by one.

My passenger side wheel is tipped in at the top much more then the drivers side which I realized when I pur 25mm spacers on and one side rubbed.

I bought some camber bolts to correct it but now that im really looking at it I think the in correct parts were used on this car as replacements. Its supposed to be performance pack suspension but these arms arent the same. Looks like a brake dust shield is missing too.

2015 gt pp1

Before I put camber bolts on and get an alignment. Should I replace these arms or just be fine as is?

I'd get the right PP parts on there first, yeah. I'm not sure if the upper control arm is meaningfully different other than the mounting points for the air deflectors, but that lower control arm looks completely different too. Control arms aren't very expensive.

Do you happen to know which side is the correct one? I was thinking drivers side since its beefier. So I just replace one instead of both lol

The one with the shield is correct. So, I'm assuming there was dmg to the other side. THAT is the side I wouldn't trust.

I just climbed under mine. Looks like your driver side is not correct. Here is underneath my 2019 PP1 w/magneride. Magneride adds the ride sensors to the lower control arm.

PP1 cars have a very small dust shield because of the air diverter

This is perfect thank you for taking the time! Now to order a few parts.

Looks like the car was in an accident on that side and they replaced both control arms and the tie rod with non-PP OE or non-OE (and non-PP) spec parts.

I just ordered all the control arms this morning from RockAuto so I am pretty versed with what they offer. The drivers side vertical link (lower) is an alternate part number they offer. I remember seeing that one. The tension link (upper) looks like a non-PP one. Tie rod end is different as well due to the zerk fitting on it.

I ordered the Mevotech control arms, and end-links. They come with greaseable fittings on the ball joints and look to be PP spec (will know for sure when the arrive). Pricewise it was around 275. I went with these over getting from Ford due to the greaseable bushings. Pricing was basically the same.

The new front performance pack kit is pretty affordable at just under 300 for both sides. I guess I should just replace both.

I have been googling images and it's starting to look like the lower control arm and upper link are just standard GT and not performance pack.

Does it make that big a different to have standard gt on one side vs pp1 on the other? Unless they are different lengths which could be.

You're better off browing eBay for takeoff parts and confirming the right pedigree. I've gotten a handful of them over the last few years.

Nothing for the forward tension links other than no air deflectors for the brakes. The rearward lateral links have the spherical bearings and that definitely makes a difference in steering response and feel.

That is the Ford part# for all 4 PP arms. Levittown Ford has it for 255 and there is a code on here somewhere for free shipping.

You can also go to Levittown's thread and ask Benny for the discount code.

New parts ordered through Levitt town. Now to decide if I can handle the swap on jack stands in my garage without that special ford tool...........
