Default Meyle HD Control arm set

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Meyle-Lin...IAAOSw~FZf-sli

Will this fit my D2 that has steel uprights rather than aluminium? From reading the forum I've read that the alloy ones have different lower arm tapers or something?

Both lower arms have different tapers on the balljoints. Meyle don't make a full kit for the 20" cars so you have to order all the arms separately unfortunately. They do specify a lower rear for the 20" but have no listing for the lower front - instead use one for a PF D2.

Thanks Mikki. So it makes even more sense now to go with alloy uprights but they seem to be quite impossible to find in UK..
