Actually I'm not entirely sure that it's true on those trailing links with the balljoints, because the forward pivot point on those links you have has more clearance than that on the later chassis's. Either way they are definitely not long enough as the TCA's should be very definitely be straight out from the pick-up points.
Just a thought, did you fit the trailing links through from the front of the chassis brackets, or just butt them up to the bracket from the rear?
As far as I know (might be wrong on this...Craig will advise I'm sure) they should just butt up from the rear and then be secured by the bolted bracket we were talking about earlier in the thread. That would make them a touch longer, but maybe still not enough.
Can't see the detail on that from your photograph. You would have had to disassemble the link to do this anyway?
PM me your address and I'll mail you a hard copy of the wishbone, TCA and trailing link chassis brackets's. Oh, and the trailing link itself.
PM sent. I put the tailing links in from the front, not butted up to the rear side. But even if it was butted up to the front it wouldn't give enough length that I need. Today I disconnected the trailing link at the TCA, then positioned the TCA where it should be, then measure from the center of the hole in the end of the link to the center of the hole in the TCA. The distance was just under 1.5 inches or around 38mm. I'm really not sure which way would be better, I would feel better if one method gave a positive pressure in an unweighted position, as far as I see, neither really does. I still need to fabricate the retainer.
