Hi All

I've been looking into rear suspension and i'm thinking of using a transverse engine after all (cheaper)
I was thinking of using the front suspension of a escort zetec, prob is they use a crap lower wishbone (see pic) which has a habit eating its bushes
Can i just replace this with an "A" type wishbone like those used at the front of a locost? and still use the escort upright and shock?

Quick answer...yes

Of course there will be many things to consider, but very doable IMO.

Hi Alan

Thanks for the quick answer

as long as its doable i can give it some thought

I'm assuming that the length from the ball joint to the centre off the first bush would have to be the same?

Adrian

that is what i did on my midi(now deceaced),fiesta balljoints fit the hubs,3 bolt fitting on xr,s,ive got 2 new ones somewhere

Thanks Conrad

Do you have any pics of your old midi?

did it die of natural causes?

Adrian

erm it died due to neglect and a lack of time,no pics im afraid
