[Fot] TR-4 vertical link and trunnion

Everything is the same.
You have to ream out the A-arm bushings to fit these sleeves that come with
the installation set.
If you use the stock A-arms you also need a longer screw for mounting the
trunnion as the TR6 screw is too short.
Good is that you can take stronger material for this bolt.

I send photos.

Cheers
Chris

That sounds like a good upgrade.  Is the upper ball joint the same?  Are
there other changes besides using spacers between the Trunnion and the stock
lower A-Arms?  Being able to remove the Trunnion without taking the A-Arms
loose from the spring pan would be a good thing I've discovered.

If you could send me a few pictures, I'd appreciate it.  I know they won't
make it through the list, but I will get them if the message is addressed
directly to me.
