Well I got some answer in the first round that lower control arms in E-bodies have the sway-bar end-bracket in the middle of the arm. OK.

But most of the Barracudas did not have swaybars at all so how do I know the difference between A, B and E body control arms?????

They are stamped on the arm (I found this out after asking some ID help a while back..) a small couple of letter code on the arm itself will let you know what it's from

From memory it was near the end where the lower ball joint attaches, stamped into the side of the arm itself.

The E body LCA's are much shorter than the A body ones. I used one on my circle track A body on the dr side to get a ton of positive camber. When I go around the (left) turns the car leans to the right & this gets my camber back(close to)zero
