I belive that the corsa b had different suspenstion setup at the facelift, just wondering what the differences where, i have bought a set of bottom arms but looking at the part numbers they are different any idea how and what it needs to fit the new one on the pre 97 models? i know that strut wise they are the same just wondering on hubs, arms, ball joints, track rods and tie bars etc? i also have nova polybushes but looking at them i now believe these wont fit the corsa arms is this true? Thanks in advance

facelift balljoints are different aswell as the lower arms (balljoint holes spaced further apart and the balljoint has a kind of step on it .. other than that i dont know
