'02 Grand Cherokee control arms... same as a TJ's?

The son just ran his 2002 2wd Grand Cherokee into a curb (avoiding a bigger accident in the process) and all four of the front control arms are bent. Does anyone know if they are the same as for a TJ?

Good enough, thanks for the answer Allen. Dang, I already had an offer of free TJ control arms too.

Well, I found a used complete front set of control arms together with the trackbar from a San Diego auto parts recycler for $180 delivered. I guess that's not bad, especially with Saturday delivery included. The price for new control arms alone (no trackbar) from my Jeep dealer even with my usual 25% discount was nearly $550. I hope straightening the bent control arm bracket up on the unibody won't be too difficult, that's really about the only thing I'm concerned about.
