Control Arms/Sway Bar End Links

Does anyone know if the 2007 TL Type S and the Base TL share the same parts for the front lower control arms and sway bar end links?

I ordered LCAs and all 4 end links, and brought it to the shop today.

They called me a couple hours saying something about the bolt holes not being the right size and needing to use a washer to keep the links tight. Also said that they may have sent me the arms and end links for a base TL and not the Type S.

From checking oemacuraparts.com it seems like they have the same part numbers...

I agree:
LCA/Bushings same '07-'08 TL/TLS
Bolts the same '04-'08 all
Front end links same '07-'08 TL/TLS
Rear end links same '04-'08 all

What are the part numbers you received?
As you have found, you can verify on the same site I use:

i never heard that each side was different.

But I think the hole sizes vary from going from a 2004/6 to 2007/8.
And I heard some people just drilled out the connection on the lower control arm and used the larger links for the 07/08 base or Type-S
Like how much bigger is it going from a 2005 to 07/08?
