Default XJ lower control arms

I found a set of front lower control arms on e-bay that supposedly fit my Cherokee XJ but in the description it says that they are for a Grand Cherokee. I'm not too familiar with the underside of a Grand Cherokee but aren't they pretty different suspensions? Are the lower control arms interchangeable?

I almost pulled the trigger on the purchase but decided to get some help here first The image that is on the e-bay listing does look like my old, rotted out arms but I hate having to return anything.

Thanks in advance,
John

Check this out before you buy anything.

http://jeep-xj.info/HowtoWJcontrolarms.htm

This was a major upgrade for me. I bought 2 of these arms cheaper than I could have just bought bushings for my stock arms and improved my ride with the much nicer bushings.

Hang on and I'll find the link to the arms.

This requires a small about of grinding and cutting but nothing a novice couldn't handle.

If you decide to do it and have issues feel free to PM me and I can talk you thru it. Certainly worth the effort!

This listing is outdated and sold but you should be able to find the same one thru the seller. I've bought a BUNCH of stuff from that seller.

Here's a current ad for 3 dollars more each.

and YES, left and right are the same so you can buy 2 left control arms and they'll work just the same.
