As title,

Are they the same in length ?

As one of my wheels seem to stick out past the arch more than the other :tard:

Which has made me think I could of been given a corsa one

If you look under the arm if it is a corsa item it should have strengthening plates were as the nova item does not,Hope this helps.

No plates on either

Think I'll have to investigate further

Tracking ain't set either

Just wanted to rule out the bottom arms really

tracking wont affect the center of the wheel though

Iirc i thought Corsa arms are longer, as the track is wider.

Yeah they are longer (apparently 10mm longer) so they will give you a crazy amount of camber if fitted! lol

From what I've been told they're the same length, pre97 ones have same balljoint holes as a nova though

And they have strengthening plates on the bottom with holes in as standard

Well they ain't got any plates on them so I guess there correct

When I have shifted all the stuff piled up around the nova I'll measure and see what's up with it

I thought people believed they are the same length now.

Lets clear this up. Corsa B lower arms are the same length as Nova ones. Just post 97 corsa arms have the holes for balljoints further apart to fit the different balljoint. Pre 97 run the same balljoint as novas do.

The main difference is they have a plate welded to the bottom, Other than that, the bush size is slightly different I believe and thats all.

The track difference is in the shell.
