Default Q. What is the difference between the pre and post facelift control arms?

Planning to put a facelift front hub on a 99' A8.

Default I know for one that the tapered shaft on the facelift is different diameter

This is the curved control arm I speak of. You can't put a facelift curved control arm on a pre facelift cause it's too big for the hole

Default That's a sleeve in the aluminum hub.

Sometimes it stuck to the tapered end on the lower control arm when you pull it out. I compared part # and it looks like there is no difference.
