Post 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

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

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 :wink:

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.

Yes that the way to do it :wink: 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
