Has anyone done this? What are the benefits? Is the TR3 frame modified to fit the TR6 lower wishbone arms or are the TR6 arms modified to fit the TR3 frame? Is it a permanent modification or can the

I've done this. Once. No more. There are a couple of advantages to using later model suspension parts, though. The TR4-TR6 uprights (actually the lower trunnions) have 3 deg caster built into them, g

Or you could use TR4 trunnions with the TR3 lower A-arms, and only change the upper A-arms & ball joint. If you do use the TR4A-TR6 style trunnions, you'll need to either change the vertical links o

-- Original message from Randall-- There's another difference here to. The early vertical links are the same on both sides, the 4a-6 links are left and eight side. This was done on my TR4. An "L" sha

Nothing is permanent for a man with a welder. 'Cause that is what it will take. The pivot points on the TR3 and TR4 are welded in. The pivots on the 4A through 6 bolt on to brackets that are welded o

I could be wrong, but I think the only difference is which side the zerk exits on. I don't believe the geometry of the link changed. AFAIK late TR4 had the same geometry as the 4A, but zerks in the

My description of non-reversibility was not all that clear, I guess. Let's try this: If you take off the lower arms of the TR3 (or TR4), you find that they were mounted to the chassis on a rod or spi

-- Original message from Randall -- I'm sure it is more than the location of the zerk. For the 4a-6, there is a LH vertical link and a RH vertical link. There is also a LH trunnion and a RH trunnion.

Yep. The trunion threads for right and left are different. One is right hand thread and the other is left. And the caster angle is built into the trunion (or the vert link). My TR6 came to me with tw

And the parts are available through the usual sources. It is certainly doable by someone handy with a welder and grinder and will give you the adjustability lacking in the TR2-4. But, as Randall poin

Since there is no adjustment they better be pretty close because your stuck with the results. At least with the 4A-6 brackets you can adjust out the inaccuracies from welding. Dave
