Upper control arms

[Babbles41]

Hello all! Was wondering if I have to keep the same style of control arms when replacing them? I have a 2001 Ranger XLT 4x4 and currently on the passenger side is a 2-piece designed control arm. The driver side is normal one piece. I need to replace them and wasn't sure what the difference in 1 vs 2 piece arms were, and/or if I could take the current 2-piece off and put a 1 piece instead. Still learning the basics of this truck so any assistance is MUCH appreciated.

Welcome to the site. Does rockauto list a one piece for the pass side?

The two piece arms are just adjustable for caster to help from drifting side to side driving straight... from what I've heard it isn't a huge deal either way...

long ago put the 1 piece on my 2000, works fine.
the cam bolts allow for full adjustment.

Moog makes "problem solver" ones with a replaceable ball joint if it looks like something like that.
