if you are buying adjustable arms make sure they are cosworth big ball joint ones not counterfeit small ball joint ones

Im sure granada arms are the same too.

3dr cossies have a nut that bolts to the top of the ball joint whereas the saffs have a pinch bolt that go through the bottom of the hub.

Granada arms are about 1 cm longer as they run a wider track.
