Re: [DML] Re: Upgraded Front Suspension

Even that isn't a true wishbone because there's compliance between the original LCA and the reinforcement. That needs to be a solid connection in order for it to be a true wishbone, which is the ultimate goal.

my 2 cents - original front suspension really s..ks !

Many other cars have a similar setup but built much stronger.
I think I've seen it on Fords of the 70s, but the parts were 
much thicker.

But still - I love my Delo :-)
