Title: WTB right rear lower wishbone half
Post by: BDA on Tuesday,June 04, 2019, 11:49:14 AM

I need a straight right rear lower wishbone half. I have a set of S2 lower wishbone arm but there is interference with the shock.

Thanks!

I assume you are also posting on the yahoo list?  Or is there a rush of curbing incidents?

I have a set of the arms with the welded-on spacer for the shock.  Is this the style you are after?  If so, I would gladly trade for your S2 set.

Yep, that was me. I thought the ones I had but when I checked the caster on the right, it was out. I'll clean up the pair I have and spray it with black rattle can - or whatever color you want. I'll also check the dimensions before I send them but they are perfect to look at them. There are bushings in them but they a probably the originals so you'd probably want new ones. When I get them cleaned up, I'll pm pictures to you.

Thanks!!

Here's the ones I have that I think are for a TC/S:

They are not for sale but I would exchange for good earlier ones that would fit my S1.  All lower arms are dimensionally the same but later ones spread out wider between the mounting points.

I could have ground some off my arms to make room for my shock but I prefer using the proper arms if possible or aftermarket tubular arms if not.

If you have a nice pair that measure out properly I'll definitely be interested. In the meantime, I'll measure the early pair I have.

If there are some available in the US, go for those.
