Are they real Ford Racing LCA

i purchased Ford Racing LCA from Amazon.com. The parts do not look like the pictures. Notice the wielded ear and ball joint. While Amazon has them listed as fitting 2005-2009 the box states they are 07 cobra Ft LCA.

Are these just new design or wrong part?

Looks funny. First I don't believe there was a 2007 cobra made. Just a v-6, gt, gt/cs, and a gt500. Also looking at other catalogs pictures of a m-3075-e I don't see any of them welded like that. I wouldn't use them.

The Google finder machine shows a different picture for that part number on all the sites I checked. Return them.

I would not use it, If you google around for the part number you will see the part design does not look anything like what you should of got.
American muscle has pictures and even customer photos, and checked them myself and you got the wrong parts.
But check the 302S boss FRPP arms, its almost exactly what you got.

Edit: **** if those are 302S arms ,they go for 600+ bucks, you could try to resell them for some extra money

The 07 Cobra they are referring to is the 07 GT500. Ford Racing has a tendency to do that sort of thing not sure why. They are real, if you want to you can call the Ford Racing Hotline and confirm with them but those should be them.

Wrong.

This is what he should of got: M-3075-E
http://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-f...ms-0511gt.html

Plus if you check rest of other vendors selling this product, and pictures all over the internet, you will see that the control arms he received are not the right parts in the box, and most likely FRPP mistakenly placed the 302S boss Control arms with a part number of : M-3075-RA

And from the install Compatibility, it only shows that it will fit 2011+ cars only.

11 - 14 cars have 19mm ball joints, prior years had 18mm ball joints. To use these in an early S197 you need to swap the spindles as well.

That's the interesting part. These have 18mm ball joints. I did call Ford Racing and emailed photos but have not heard back. I'm going to just send them back and order from someone else.

@MCK3125 Did you happen to return those to Amazon? The reason I'm asking is I have the same situation as you where I ordered it from Amazon but through their Warehouse deals and didn't seem right when I checked them and they didn't match photos also I was suspicious as they're listed as "Like New". I think Google and Irony brought me to the this thread as I'm believing Amazon resold your control arms and I'm the guy who bought them LOL

Ha... If so that's kinda funny, depending on how frustrated you are by it.
