Does anyone know if a '99-'00 control arm will fit an '03 Protege 5. An admin said it would in another post, but I need to make damn sure. Thanks in advance guys.

It'll fit, but it is an inferior design to that of the P5 due to the lack of additional metal welded within.
 
If you're driving it hard, you should probably go w/ a stronger control arm. That's what I think.
 
I just bought a brand new control arm (trailing arm) because mine was pretty well "crinkled" from the previous owner. I got it from Online Mazda Parts/Montgomery Mazda for like $42 shipped (It was like $37 & shipping was only $4.50). It got here in a week, too. I was trying to find a used one to no avail, so I went with the new one since the price was decent.

wow, that online mazda parts website is great!

I was really happy with the prices on replacement parts. I had seen prices for the trailing arm at some ridiculous prices and tried to get a used one until I searched them. And the best part, to me, was the shipping price! LOL!
