trunnion assembly for a TR6 uses a thru

ering welding an extension to the upper A-Arm ball joint mounting tabs on t=

 inward and produce a similar result to shortening the A-arm.&nbsp; I have =
not removed my TR3 A-Arms yet, but it appears there is room to move the bal=

 arms, but it seems like it could be a decent compromise.&nbsp; I am concer=

hallenging, as is moving the inner pivot point
 and retaining substantial structure.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
