Savage Wish bones

The Wishbones & steering knuckles for a savage x are they the same fitment size/dimensions as my savage 21 does anyone know please?

They do differ, but I can't recall all of what differs about them. Other than they aren't interchangeable from side to side/front to back like the old ones were. The old ones had ears for the shocks that stuck up on both sides of the arms, so you could literally use any arm on any corner by flipping it. Was very nice and universal. All you had to have on hand was 1 arm as it could replace any arm. But now they only work on opposing corners. Like the front left will work on the rear right only.

Other than that, I don't know if there are other geometry changes as I know the X has a lower CG, but I can't recall if that's at the wheel hub as well as the transmission or just the transmission was dropped down in the center some.

I found this:

Looks like the arms are listed as compatible. You just lose the ability to use any arm on any corner of the truck.
