How's your Japanese? (Front lower suspension arm adjusters)

Hi Guys

 

I'm in the process of putting together a shopping list of bits I want to buy to replace the front suspension arms. I'm a little bit stuck when it comes to selecting which cam bolts I need to order. For example, when I choose the bolts for the RHS, i get two different part numbers come up:

The only thing differentiating the two part numbers (48190-14040 and 48190-24020) is some Japanese writing. I've tried cutting and pasting the writing into Google translate but I get nothing useful out of it.

 

Does anyone know what the difference between the two is?

 

Cheers

 

Andy

Simple answer on this one :)

 

They are both needed. One is for the front part of the arm, the other is for the rear. Look at the pic again, one is a has the camber adjuster on the left side, the other on the right

 

Correct :) 14040 is front, 24020 is rear.

Many thanks guys!

 

For some reason, I had in my head that one was for pre-facelift, the other for facelift. I thought that the front and the back of the arm were the same, just rotated through 180 degrees.

 

Looking at them again, they do look different, one had a stud on the back to mount the stay, the other a hex head.

 

Thanks again!
