Title: WTB, One stock lower link.
Post by: Richard48Y on Monday,February 19, 2024, 06:37:40 PM

One stock lower link needed.
What I have is just a little bent.
With all the guys upgrading to adjustable one stocker should not be too hard to find?

Got it today, nice part.
Media blast, paint, and bushings will make it as new.

Learned something new.
Not all lower links are the same length.
So I guess what I got is TC or Special as it is too long.  :headbanger:

Am I right in thinking the TC/TCS links also use different angles for the end bush pivots as well?

Technically, maybe?  Practically, not really.  Why not shorten the one you have using your good one as a jig?

Looks like I will be fitting my "Old" adjustable set to get this car on the road.
I planned to make a new set for my car anyway.

Below is the measurements for the S1/S2 links from the manual.

Always thought using these swedged steel tubes would be a quick way to fabricobble some new links - really cheap as well.
