 A-frame wishbones Hi,
It's time to put my coupe back on the road after being stood for 10 years. Does anybody have, or know where I can get hold of a rear drivers side A-frame wishbone?? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Re: A-frame wishbones Thanks for the help. Will hopefully be having a pair sent out to me next week.

Re: A-frame wishbones I will be looking into upgrading from these A-frame design soon, I just want to get the car to drive in a straight line again first as it does 'crab' and the wishbone is visually bent

Re: A-frame wishbones Hi Kimsi, Apart from not being adjustable and that could be modified, I don't think there is too much wrong with the A frame lower arms, especially on a road car with an "A" series engine, race tyres and a V Tec Honda and things might be different  John

Re: A-frame wishbones Thanks john.
Engine will be the next thing as soon as I'm happy with going in a straight line

Re: A-frame wishbones In the end, to cure the rear end wander, I made up my own adjustable arms with rose joints inboard and my own polyurethane bushes outboard.  I also used adjustable tie rods. Once I could set up the rear end correctly it was a lot more driveable.

Re: A-frame wishbones Yes that the way to do it I have fitted Mini adjustable bottom arms and tie rods and a steering locking system, but was thinking when it was up and running I would come back the the A frame arms John
