HELP! Front suspension arm query (XR2i)

Postby XR2iT on Sat Apr 12, 2003 5:04 pm

Took off the suspension arms from my XR2iT and discovered that both sides are the same ie one is flipped 180 degrees from the other with the ball joints also at 180 degrees. Is this right? Should there be a left hand and right hand arm? I am about to start welding in bushes to fit spherical bearings so I would like to make sure that they are right.

Mr. T once captured Bigfoot, but released him after he shaved the beast and realized that it was just Chuck Norris walking around naked in the woods.

To clarify: The arms are identical but one is 180 degrees relative to the other. This means that the bushes for one goes in from top and the other in from the bottom. Confused!!! Help!!
