This particular tool is for the TR-4A IRS, the TR-250 and TR-6, i.e. independent rear suspension cars. However, I have also used it on solid axle cars (TR-3 and TR-4), and it seems to work on these as well. I can't remember exactly, but I may have had to set up some spacers to make it work on solid rear axle cars. <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471175601702_13905"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471175601702_13904"> Anybody want to make me an offer?
