quick a arm question

i was wondering if there was a difference in length between the s4 and s5 a arms. i got some off of an s5 and realized that they are a little different then the ones off my s4. i didn't measure then which i wish i had. but the s4 a arms have a removable ball joint were the s5 on its part of the a arm. thanks for any info guys

they should be the same,Interchangeable..the s4 has the Replacable ball joint.the s5 Does not...a lot of guys Opt out for the s4 arms because they don't have to change the whole arm if the ball joint goes.

yeah thats what i was thinking but for some reason it just looked a little bit shorter. which wouldn't make sense because isn't the s4 just as wide as the s5

I'm glad they are im going to be looking for some inside parts for my car. Those being the same gives me more to work with.
