Thank you I found a site that can make the lower arms with flex joint, just needed the length. They can also make the upper arm with flex joint. they call it a wishbone. Here is the link check it out. http://www.suicidedoors.com.

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??????.....

Bentparts, Yeah, it looks simple. Kicker is I don't have the skills/tools needed.  And not too many people offering to make them in here. Maybe this will change. I would rather have a fellow Zuker make my stuff. They at least have an intrest in the outcome.

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.
