So I'm getting told I need to replace the driver front LCA. My local repair shop says the part is only available from a dealer and will cost over $600. I called a dealer and pretty much got the same price quote.
So I go online to research the part and I'm finding one available for less than $200. But that is when I run into a concern.
Some of the sites that have the part are also showing the same part but have it as out-of-stock, and upon further inspection I'm seeing notes on these about 'Type 1' and 'Type 2,3,4'. The Type 1 is the OOS LCA but the other one is the 'readily' available.
My question is what the 'Type' is in regards to, and whether or not the 'Type 2,3,4' is interchangeable anyway. Both parts say they 'fit' my 1.6L Titanium.
