Thanks for that Dave, 30 years ago I knew my way around mopars, but just coming back to it I'm still feeling my feet! So much has changed!

After bad weather causing play delayed, went out today and got the wishbone off - one bolt came out, had to cut the rear one out, but it wasn't as much of a nightmare as I'd imagined. However......my next question....You guys said that e body arms are different to A body ones. I've eyed up the spare ones I've got with the old one, and the dimensions are the same within a couple of mm, which may be down to my measuring or american engineering tolerances. My question is, HOW different are the two arms? is it fairly obvious or is it down to mm??

I would too, if they are that close and the geometry ends up a bit of then install offset Moog bushings in before you install em :thumbright:

I am not sure about the UCA but I know the LCA on an A-body is about 3/4" longer than on the E/B body.

To my knowledge, If you have the large ball joint UCA's, they wont fit the spindles without reaming or using the later spindles.

Thanks for your advice guys, I think you're right - a couple of mm can be taken up on the eccentrics. Onwards and upwards!!!!!
