If you see letters RW, then your LCA's are 70-72 B Body and 70-74 E Body. (all the same) If you see letters VL, then they are 73-76 A Body LCA's. (To me they look like B & E Body LCA's, by looking at the pivot shaft diameter) RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany

"Shafts" are different between the body styles. Like i stated, look for the letters on the LCA's RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany

Weird, I pulled those off the 72' charger myself, wonder if the previous owner changed them out? [IMG]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/migsbig/Hippo_skull_dark-1.jpg[/IMG]

They don't interchange unless someone physically changes the shafts, or pins, (whatever one personally calls them) between the two body style LCA's. RF-4C Phantom 69-370 Zweibrucken, Germany

Visual ID is the quickest way to tell compared to lookin at part #s that could be under rust or grease. I'm surprised that Jim didn't know that. He is usually pretty sharp on the suspension stuff.

Looks like I'm going to have to refund the guy or make it right with him. Thanks for the info everybody. [IMG]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/migsbig/Hippo_skull_dark-1.jpg[/IMG]

You can theoretically swap a few parts around to fit a B arm in an A car or vice versa. The A arms ARE 1/2" longer from ball joint to the pivot shaft. It is possible to put A body arms in a 62-72 B car to get much more negative camber for circle track racing. The strut rod location is very close. The sway bar tabs closely resemble 70-72 B arms.

Is it possible he has a late '72 calender year that is actually a '73 that has an entirely different arm? Like these: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=0#Post7941221
