The guy is saying that the nonM upper control arm/ thurst arm in the fron is the same as the //M part, and as such just needs bushing & ball joint to be //M

Do you think this is true?

Hey, just saw this post. It looks completely legit to me, but pressing the bushings likely will not be that simple. The arm is soft aluminum and likely will be a pain to swap without causing damage(even if you visually can't see the bend). That said, this is definitely promising, and with the right press should provide a much cheaper OE(instead of OEM) solution.
