    It works good, but study it carefully before you build.

    The original arms are an I-beam design. That's deliberate. The arms are meant to twist during suspension movement. As I understand it, they were made from spring type steel or at least a grade that will take repeated twisting.

    The actual truck parts still fairly plentiful. You might do well to find a pair of genuine pieces.
