Photo Request Please

Postby elsberry » 01 Apr 2011 23:39

I have managed to somehow amazingly lost a front lower control arm. How I lost it I have no idea, but it's not in my garage, and after spending two days looking for it and finding only one, I am left with the conclusion that it's lost and I need to find a replacement. Since I have one and I know that they are bent in a certain direction, can someone post a photo please of a front suspension so I can look at it and determine which control arm I need?

Thanks,

Dave

Any markings on it?
All my pics of them are separate.

The one in front is the passenger side for a left hand drive car.

Hi Michael,
I'm not having a go at you in any way, but I'm pretty sure the one in front is the drivers side?

Cheers,
Dave

That's because in the Uk they have the steering wheel at the wrong side [:p]

bent in a certain way? you mean that the left and right control arm are not mirror images of each other?

The front one would be, if you are sitting in the car, the right side for me previously posted pcture. Maybe these will help more?

Michael

Have a few questions. 1) Are the threaded pieces for the adjustable springs from a Miata? If not then from what application? What spring rate are you using?
2)What car did the vented rotors come from? Is that a kit from the Wedge Shop?

Thanks
