So you traded someone for something that you have no knowledge about. Wow thats funny. Odds are that you bought rear lca's that is the most popular application. They don't do much they are just stronger and lighter than stock and reduce the amount of camber if you plan to slam your car.

A control arm (sometimes called a wishbone or A-arm) is a nearly flat and roughly triangular member (or sub-frame), that pivots in two places. The broad end of the triangle attaches at the frame and pivots on a bushing. The narrow end attaches to the steering knuckle and pivots on a ball joint.

Two such devices per wheel make up double wishbone suspension, while one control arm per wheel makes up a part, usually the lower part, of MacPherson strut suspension or of various other configurations.
