Control Arm Bushings Caster Block clarification?
I want to change out my Caster Blocks (lower control arm bushings). After reading several old posts & looking for parts on here Im a bit confused as to what to get. .....Should I get the updated 968 #951 341 023 01 blocks which say work for 85.5 & up or get the ones that say are for 83-85 .....Im not sure if the 85.5 & up 968 caster blocks will fit on my 83 or are recommended. I see many who say to use updated but none to verify they will work on an 83. Thanks.

Your '83 would have originally came with the stamped steel control arms (black in color). Unless your car was updated to the '85.5-'86 aluminum control arms, the 968 caster blocks will not work.
