Controlarm bought from USA does not work in my European Honda Accord 95
The upper right front balljoint on my Honda Accord 1995 is broken..
I bougt a new controlarm with balljoint from USA on ebay...(cost 5 times less than the cheapest in norway)
I took out the faulty control arm and when trying to install the new one I discovered that the arms are too wide apart to fit the bolts in the mounting holes...
Does the american Honda Accords 1995 use a different design controlarm than european version?
HONDA ACCORD 2.0I S CC7 , 1995 (bought in norway)

Wikipedia:
The 5th generation Accord for the European market was launched towards the end of 1992 and was not related directly to the North American 'CD' Accord. It was in fact the JDM Honda Ascot Innova which was based on the previous 4th generation 'CB' Accord. It was the result of a joint effort with the Rover Group that provided Rover with the 600 series.
Maybe a 4th Gen control arm would work?
