US models dont have air suspension. I think there is a bracket on the 31 that the others dont have.
Hopefully someone who knows more than me will chime in

i have now established that the uzz31 has a small bracket to attach the airbag ht control rod.

I am looking at buying the usa arm, cutting the bracket off the old arm and rewelding it to the new arm.

Alternately a small bracket that bolts around the new arm could be made to attach the ht control rod.

any thoughts on the above.

The arms are cast iron - not the easiest of metals to weld
