Hello everyone!
I'm wrenching on my 122 again after a 5 year hiatus.
I'm at sea for another week and ordering parts so I can work on the front end when I get home. I'd like to order them now so I can install them before I have to leave again.
I have a couple questions that should be easy for someone with loose parts and a tape measure:
Upper control arm:
1. What is the distance from center of the upper wishbone shaft, to center of ball joint (that is, the effective length of the arm?)
2. What is the distance between the mounting clamps to the wishbone shaft?
3. What is the distance between the mounting holes on the upper wishbone shaft?
Lower Control arm:
1. What is the distance from the center of the lower wishbone shaft to:
a. The center of the ball joint?
b. The center of the shock mount?
c. The center of the spring (if not centered on the shock?)
2. What is the distance between the inner bushing faces on the inner arm (where the lower wishbone shaft goes through?)
Steering Knuckle:
1. What is the height from lower ball joint face to upper ball joint face?
2. What is the length of the steering arm from the center of rotation to the tie rod end?
Extra Credit: Does anyone know offhand, the taper of the lower ball joint and the length from the pivot to the top of the threads?
I really appreciate the help. I stopped work on the car when I found the front knuckles, brakes, and lower control arms were no good (plus moving, divorce, and renovating a 175 year old farmhouse that has no garage...). I've got some knuckles left over from another abandoned project and if I can get some ballpark numbers on the control arms I might be able to make a working car by spring 2016.
Thanks!
Ben
