Hey Alex,

The metal parts are all one-off. The bushing are standard Energy Suspension leaf spring bushings, the lower balljoints are stock Type I lowers, the uppers are Ford Galaxy, the spindles are stock Type I, the steering rack and tie rods are MkII Golf, one UV joint is MkII Golf one is Flaming River.

Bruce is semi-retired and owns, runs, and lives at Eyeball Engineering. He has a website with his number on it.

When I've tested and am really happy with mine, I might redesign it to be easier and less costly to build and then maybe people can buy kits or the entire assembly.

Jason

Jason,

What size inner diameter tubing did you use for the the where the bushing is inserted and bolted to the bulkhead? Also what bushings did you use?

Thank,
Mike

I'm sure it sounded good coming out of your head, but I just don't know what your asking. Are you talking about the bushings on the A arms?

Oops, I really sound like a retard when I don't proof read my posts. Yes I am talking about where the A arm mounts to the frame.
