What early 960 parts will fit a 95 960 (and why do the part suppliers hate late 960s)?? 900 1995

I am tired of going to IPD (and other sites) and clicking on the 700/900 section, and selecting a particular part, only to find out that it specifically will NOT fit the 95-97 960! Well, this only applies if they even carry that part for any 900 model other than the 940.

So, my question is, what all changed between 94 and 95 (isnt it merely the IRS, or is there more?)? Also, what parts would fit a 95 960, or to make answering easier, what parts would not fit.

At the moment, I am concerned with the front suspension (specifically C Arm bushings and possibly ball joints), but i would greatly appreciate a list for future reference. I am frustrated in my search for late 960 parts that wont cost an arm, a leg, and most likely several other appendages.

Oh yeah, just wanted to applaud the 700/900 FAQ, just finished cleaning the TB, in addition to other stuff, all thanks to the FAQ. Keep the updates coming, it's great, especially for the creative tips on how to fix things (for example, even though it didnt come directly from this board, Mike Ponte's brilliant FI cleaning process, might have to give it a try).
