71 280se lower front control arm

Been looking and spending for a right front lower control arm. Ordered from 2 different places and have 2 arms that aren't the right part. Can a left be adapted to use on the right by relocating the sway bar attachment bracket? or will the geometry of a left and a right just not work interchanged? thanks

I'm pretty sure left and right have different angles. Don't quote me on that. I assume you're looking for one from a 108? One from a 111 should work as well. I'm sure someone has a spare! I have to see if the ones on my car are even any good before I offer mine up though.

Found it!

Tom, I found the part on thru an Ebay dealer. A picture is worth 1000 words! Internet salvage yard brokers don't seem to understand why chassis #'s are so important.
