Does the (Z32) 300ZX and (G50) share the same LCA

Do the Z32 and G50 share the same lower control arm (LCA)? I ask because I found out on the 300ZX you can just replace the ball joint on the LCA. Where as on the Q you need to replace the whole lower arm.

The LCAs from the Z32 to G50 are not the same. The BJs are.The LCA bushings are as well. Buy the Spicer BJs online around $35per , the Bj seats from IoS I think $10per? + replace LCa bushings w/ the nismo ones- about... $15.per side. Aprox 120$ per side? not a very complicated ordeal!

Avoid that LCA and just get the joint itself.
This is not a complicated job but of course being an infiniti it becomes a complicated job with all sorts of misleading info as well as inflated costs. When I did my front end these prices were about exact. Maybe around 150$ a side now?
***This is upper and lower. 150$ a side for upper and lower is cheaper than doing it on a hyundai...
