what is the difference between those turbo lower control arms? do they share the same parts in ball joint and bushings on their non-turbo counterpart?

I remember something about us having the option to swap in elantra control arms. So they must be the same, (I think).

I would send a pm to 91talonharv or 89mirageman to verify this.

I believe the rear rubber bushing is different between the na and turbo lower control arms. Pretty sure the ball joint is the same. I've never really figured out why they used two different parts unless one is slightly stronger. I've never had a turbo LCA to compare mine to.

^Yup, and as suspected, the turbo control arm is stronger/thicker. Rear bushings are different, ball joints should be the same as well. Should look something like this: Image
Compare turbo 1.6 TC and non turbo 1.5L versions @ rockauto.com
I do know some people have non press out ball joint before, but I have personally pressed out a set on a 1.5L car before. Mine have not gone bad on the 1.6 TC model yet, so haven't gone into them yet.
