i have a 1986 220bhp 944 turbo non ABS with a driver side knackered ball joint

my alloy control number - 951 341 150.01 dated 85

i read somewhere you cannot just change the ball joint so i got a replacement arm from a breaker but this was off a 1990 car and is approx an inch longer at the hub so doesnt fit number 951 341 150.10

so im looking for a correct control arm seconed hand with a good ball joint or a refurb etc

Thanks Simon M.

Thats the most competitive price / quality / reliability balance you'll get.
