a wish bone is for the rear end and requires the 2 lower trailing arms still be attached

commonly used on hydraulic cars for taller standing 3 wheel

in other words if your talking about it on the rear end you will still need the lower trailing arms it cannot be put in place of these and if your going to try and use it for an arm

well??????.....

Maybe this will change. I would rather have a fellow Zuker make my stuff. They at least have an intrest in the outcome.

Post by: MKOLSEN22 on November 04, 2008, 09:08:11 PM: Regarding the upper link of the rear suspension, the frame ends are not symetrical to the centerline of the vehicle. IIRC the driver's side is closer to the vehicle centerline to make room for the stock muffler. If you have some one like suicidedoors.com build it for you they will need detailed dimensions, etc.
