The only cast piece is the lower control arm. You also need to match the radius rod. The steering knuckles are not different for the lower arms. Besides right or left, the only difference in the knuckles is the type of brakes and power/manual steering. The steering difference is only the location of the tie rod holes. Either rack will work with either knuckles. Dennis
