Are the suspension arms the same across the B5 range, or are RS4 suspension arms RS4 specific? Thanks

I'm sure I've read somewhere before that they're the same across the B5 (A4 \ Passat range)

The ball joints are not the same size on the lower arms. I think the front lower is rs4 specific to it.

Generally pre facelift cars have different ball joints on the lower arm to the facelift however the change over was actually with a chassis code update so there is an overlap. The front lower arms are not RS4 specific.

Lucas ,
The front lower arm on a B5 RS4 PT NO 4B3 407 151C Is specific to the rs4 in the B5 platform The part is listed for use on other platforms as well.
It is listed for A8 , A6 & S6 But no other a4 or s4
