same part #, different part, ugh
I'm really just venting here, but seriously..

so my front driver side level sensor (arm) literally broke where it connects to the control arm. so I ordered a good used one

the sensor arrived, and the end where it attaches to the control arm is actually different!

it would have been nice if they changed the part number for the sensors that use different arms! just a rant I suppose but seriously why did they do this?! now I have to wait another week to get the right part
