[Fot] TR-4 vertical link and trunnion

[Tony Drews]

I'm looking at a diagram of the TR-4 and TR-4a
front suspension.  On the 4A, the vertical link
is different for Left Hand side of the car and
Right Hand side of the car while on the TR-4 it's
the same part for both sides.  The trunnions are
"handed" too - right / left hand for both set ups (but are different parts).

Why is the vertical link different from side to
side?  I'm not seeing the difference and want to
make sure I cover my bases if I make this conversion.

Thanks, Tony
