Hey...I believe the lower A arms ARE the same and that you can use the 99 shocks. BUT, if your car is a 1970, those front springs are NOT the same as the 1973 on cars with girling handbrake calipers. The UPPER A arms are also of a different design to the later set up. The spring seat on the earlier A arms does not pivot, the later ones do. So you'll need to change both arms and springs from a later car...and btw the left hand upper A arm can only be removed with the engine out of the car. I'd swop out the whole lot if you have a donor car and upgrade hubs and suspension to later components...do you still have the early 99 freewheel gearbox on your car?
