facelift balljoints are different aswell as the lower arms (balljoint holes spaced further apart and the balljoint has a kind of step on it .. other than that i dont know

I belive that the corsa b had different suspenstion setup at the facelift, just wondering what the differences where, i have bought a set of bottom arms but looking at the part numbers they are different any idea how and what it needs to fit the new one on the pre 97 models? i know that strut wise they are the same just wondering on hubs, arms, ball joints, track rods and tie bars etc? i also have nova polybushes but looking at them i now believe these wont fit the corsa arms is this true? Thanks in advance
