RX-3 Idler Arm

Im in the process of installing new suspension parts including tie rod ends, ball joints and FB front/rear brake upgrade. Anyone know if the idler arm parts are the same as the SA?

thanks

i always thought that since the rx3 and the SA had similar looking suspension components that they were the same parts wise.

Well i haven't had any days off for the
last two weeks and it looked like two more week of 12hr shift. Stupid rain ruined every thing and I hate working out in the rain. Hopefully no more rain in the forecast so I can catch up on things.

Why do people still have phone line? Haven't they heard of cell phone?
