I bought these control arms from a vendor on eBay for my 2010 GT. They are supposed to be 07 Cobra, but they look more like Boss 302 2013 control arms. Anyone know the part numbers?
I can't find them on Google.
Yes, that is the kit part number for the whole kit. It was written on the box.
I was just trying to confirm if this is one of the arms from that kit.
Just based on appearance, it looks like an 11-14 control arm, not the 05-10.
yeah but that doesn't help because the kit number vs the number stamped on the arms themselves don't coincide....
and yeah, those don't look right because of the tubular portions. The FRPP kit (GT500) looks identical to the OEM GT parts. The differences are higher durometer rubber and in some cases a 1 or 2 mm increased diameter ball joint stud. The remaining arm looks identical in every way to the original ones being taken out.

Hey, thanks!
I went to the local Ford dealer today, but they aren't SVT or Motorsport. So they couldn't even check in the system for me. But the guy did say that the stamping number is for an 07 Mustang (07 Cobra...?) 7R......
Based on that, he said they probably have started using the newer control arms, with the old ball joint. Using a vernier caliper, we checked the dia of the ball joint stud. 18mm - same as the 05-10 size. So maybe it's true...?
The arms fit perfectly. Ford Racing must have sold all the old stock arms and started to use the newer style.
I wonder if these are stronger, or just cheaper to manufacture?
