from what im seeing online they are called lateral links.. but are they the same between rear and forward most? they look the same

I'M OFFENDED!
TTypically they aren't. The fronts have a lot extra to do as opposed to the rears. If you need a new one, I'd say check rock auto. II know I can get all new LCA's for my mx6 there for like 60 bucks with bushings and all.

it has two rear control arms per side, i believe the tech terms are lateral links. rockauto lists lateral links but doesn't have any. Megan racing sells them, but lists them as the same. deal says they are different

IIRC, the two lateral links are the same. And for what it's worth, I wouldn't bother with the Megan Racing ones unless you're attempting some weird fitment or really need the adjustability. They were kind of spendy last time I checked.

^What he said.

The lateral links should be the same, unless one of them is an adjustable link.


I'm not sure i understand why the question is a question, though...?

Can you only find one or the other or something?

Have you checked your trailing links, too?
