Question
i have a 97 pontiac grand am that was wrecked in the front. it needs a pass side a arm. are there any other gm cars that share the same part? cavalier, beretta etc?

Answer
Hi Shawn,

After finding the small white GM Service Parts Identification sheet (glove box, under deck lid, underside of center console lid or spare tire cover) look for one of the three digit codes listed below then follow the interchange for that option.

Option code: FE2:
ACHIEVA 94
ACHIEVA 97-98
GRAND AM 94
GRAND AM 97-98 susp opt FE2
SKYLARK 94
--------------------------------

Option code: FE3:
ACHIEVA 95-96
BERETTA 94-96
GRAND AM 95-96
GRAND AM 97-98 susp opt FE3

================================

Hope this helps.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
