| |  Are mirror arms identical?
I'm just wondering if both mirror arms on the Cjs are supposed to be identical. Mine are completly similar on both sides, an i never got a good look back on the passenger side. After having the car for 14 years now, the thought, that there could be a passenger side mirror arm, get's a little bit intimidating ...
Maybe some can tell
Thanks in advance

What year?
76 thru 86 CJs had different size arms, right vs left.

| Yeah, but the driver's side arm is the same.

No, no, it's the passenger side that's different. I'm sure of it.

I really think it is the drivers that's different. Got peanut butter?

On a 1972 & up CJ, maybe earlier too, the passenger mirror arm is different because the mirror is intended to be viewed through the front windshield, not the side window like the driver's side.
