There is one for standard suspensions and one for XR (with a simple hole drilled in slightly different positions) and one for FPV (with an elongated hole to take an eccentric bolt).
Or are there more versions? Or am I wrong in general?
What I'm trying to work out is where the Ghia fits into all of this. What alignment measurements should be used on a Ghia rear end? Being a "sports" suspension do they just use the XR knuckle? Or the standard knuckle? Or is there a special knuckle for them? Etc, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mate,
Listed below are all the available arms for BA/F Sedan, some are the same number but pending on month year will determine what it suits. So in essence there are 6 variations. The LHR is basically the same except the part numbers have 5A969 in the middle instead of 5A968 that differentiate them from each other:
BA5A968A: KNUCKLE - REAR WHEEL, RH, INCLUDES BEARING (WITH STANDARD SUSPENSION) From 01/07/2002 on
BA5A968A: KNUCKLE - REAR WHEEL, RH, INCLUDES BEARING (XT/FUTURA, WITH HD INDEPENDANT REAR SUSPENSION OR WITH SPORTS TUNED SUSPENSION) From 10/9/2006 On
BAF5A968B: KNUCKLE - REAR WHEEL, RH, INCLUDES BEARING (5.4 V8 SOHC EFI 24V, WITH SPORTS TUNED SUSPENSION) From 1/10/2005 on
BAF5A968C: KNUCKLE - REAR WHEEL, RH, INCLUDES BEARING (GT/GT-P, FPV SPORTS SUSPENSION OR F6) From 1/10/2005 on..
BAF5A968C: KNUCKLE - REAR WHEEL, RH, INCLUDES BEARING (FORCE VERSION, FPV SPORTS SUSPENSION) from 19/9/2006 on
BAF5A968D: KNUCKLE - REAR WHEEL, RH, INCLUDES BEARING (XR, 4.0L DOHC VCT EFI, FPV SUSPENSION) from 1/10/2005.
BAF5A968E: NUCKLE - REAR WHEEL, RH, INCLUDES BEARING (XR, 5.4 V8 DOHC EFI 32V, FPV SPORTS SUSPENSION OR 4.0L DOHC EFI VCT TURBO, FPV SUSPENSION) from 1/10/2005 on
BAT5A968A: KNUCKLE - REAR WHEEL, RH, INCLUDES BEARING (WITH SPORTS TUNED SUSPENSION) from 1/7/2002-30/9/2005.
If you pass on the VIN we may be able to narrow it down. I am guessing it would be 1st number.
Hope this helps or maybe its confused you even further..
