2 questions -
1) will they fit under 15" fuchs? 2 ) i know they are 3.75" spacing....and you can slot the ears to fit on a 3.5" strut... would an adapter be feasible to mount them to a 3" spacing strut? |

QUOTE Are you sure they're cast? They look forged to me, but I will stand corrected. They are, afterall, weled to the mild steel tubular section of the trailing arm. The various sections of the control arm are forged and welded together. The section (bearing carrier housing) with the mounting ears "is" cast. Again, I'm not saying it "can't" or even "shouldn't" be done. I think it's the best way to go for this mod. I'm just saying have someone who "really" know's what they're doing do it. I can't think of anything more important than having brakes on a car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
