Default 2001 Ram 1500 4WD Lower control arms

Ok so I had this little confrontation with a ditch...now I find my self trying to replace both lower control arms that go from the frame to the bottom of the front axle. Problem is the dealer in my area says there are none to be had. I found one usable in the local junk yard. My question is can anyone tell me the difference between part 5210677aa that fits 2000-01 4WD and part number 52038752AC that fits years before 2000? The junk yard is full of late 90 models.

Thanks

Check the parts manual here in the FAQ/DIY section here to see compatibility.

None, they probably used a different manufacturer and changed part #'s

the 00-01 had different steering knuckles with dual piston calipers and mounting brackets. that's the only difference i know of. all other parts seem interchangeable.

maybe compare the one 00-01 in the junkyard with a 94-99 also from junkyard. that way you're not out a lot of money if it doesn't match/fit.
