fleurys Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) I will be releasing my new lower and upper rear control arms for the wd21 in the next few days. But before I do, I need a confirmation that the lengths are good. I have already these numbers for the lower and upper from eye to eye... L : 21'' U : 10.5'' I need the measurements to the 1/8''... So if others could confirm, it would help me release the product faster for you guys... Thanks alot.

nunya Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) My tape measure (checked both sides as well to make sure both are = ) sais lowers from center of bolt to center of bolt, 20 11/16", uppers from center of bolt to center of bolt 10 11/16". This is on an 88 4x4 2 door with round tube style uppers and I beam style lowers sitting on the ground on it's own weight. I'll check for more measurments in y FSM once I'm home too FSM's RA (rear suspension) section gave no lengths on the links, sorry Edited July 10, 2012 by nunya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurys Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Thank you.... To be on the safe side I would like the measurement from others too....because right now, the difference is too high between the 2 that I have now.... Anyone else please ???

nunya Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 like they say, measure twice-cut once. I'd rather have a few measurements from multipule people as well if I were in your shoes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Machinist rule of accuracy: Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe... Ok, I'll take some measurements this evening when I get home and it cools off. I have calipers and straight edges long enough to use on my 1995 parts.

andrewt6447 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) On the other side of the planet so you have to allow for different gravity and the fact you guys are up the other way, I get 525mm on the lower ( 20.7" or just a smidge over 20 11/16") and 272.5mm upper (10.7" or just a smidge over 10 11/16") Measured with a tape/steel rule also, so there may be a tiny discrepancy in the actual measurements. '90 D21 with cast lower/tube upper arms. Edited July 11, 2012 by andrewt6447 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 at least I don't feel like a complete maroon who cant read a tape measure now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurys Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thank you andrew !.... Looks like I had the wrong measurements to start with.... and it`s official, nunya knows how to read a tape measure ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 lowers from center of bolt to center of bolt, 20 11/16", uppers from center of bolt to center of bolt 10 11/16". Yep, I got under the truck last night and that is exactly what I measured on my 1995, so yes, Nunya is tape measure literate!! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurys Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 one last thing.... (I guess I should have asked at the same time) :-( is the width of the bushing 2" 3/8 ?? (Like the r50) S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Measuring with calipers I was getting the bushing length as 2.330 captive, the rod ends are obviously less wide. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
