Adjustable rose joint front suspension always comes with 1/2"unf rose joints/rod ends, which I am sure is just to make it easier for manufacturers since the bottom arm pin is already 1/2" as standard.
I seriously doubt it! |

can i taker a wild guess? would they fatigue under repetitive acceleration/braking/general forces? no problems at all, the top arms were big beefy thick plate, still a whole lot lighter than standard, and the bott arms are onle either in compression of tension and made from a strong enough alloy will be fine, these bott arms were sold on when i rebuilt the Don to a TM member , carl |

A lot of modern cars have alloy suspension and from what I have found lots of upgrades are in aluminium to replace steel OE parts
I seriously doubt it! |

I was well impressed by the front end of an E92 335 I was looking at last week. Aluminium front hubs as well as everything else On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:
