Thread: Can anyone tell me what this front susp. is out of...?

The centerline of the strut rod pivot where it attaches to the frame has to be located exactly on a line that goes through the lower control arm attaching holes in the crossmember. Remove the lower control arm. Replace it in the crossmember using a long rod or piece of threaded rod of the appropriate diameter for a snut fit in the holes. The rod will show the line where the strut rod pivot needs to be mounted.

Im going to do a little more research on it, but the frame Im going to use already has a nice straight axle under it. I'll probably keep with it for simplicity. Its gonna be a 50's style build anyway......Thanks for the input!
