Re: Rear disc without control arms?

I dont know about any additional links.
If anyone could help me on that one, too

My 88 rear looks identical, except for the LCA

The 88 had a stamped metal LCA
Kinda like bent sheet metal (bit thicker)
An open A-design with the shock mounted down in the frame.
The shocks that are used are ball/socket style
Think almost any US made car to visualize those.

The rest are a cast iron part, totally solid
The Shock mount is a two-pronged fork arrangement that straddles the LCA

From what I understood it was the flex in the stamped metal that allowed the “Rear Steer”
The rigid cast iron part didn’t have the flex.

Yeah I noticed that too now, I think this discription I have here is wrong.

Re: Rear disc without control arms?

Ok so if we find an 88 with a mashed front end, think we could adapt something like this to an 89+

Re: Rear disc without control arms?

Weeeee yah 88s do rock. I find myself spinning often at the local autox's I wonder what adding a rear sway bar and a rear biased spring rate would do

THey're right though, the spindle is different im pretty sure, I did the disk swap myself and I was thinking the samething before I ripped the whole rear end off my car.

Re: Rear disc without control arms?

rear swap bars and the passive rear stearing dont mix, it will cause it to iratically snap directions when you corner.
