Need some RT5 folks with "expert" knowledge.
I have a '83 RT5, chassis 418. It had a pro life early on, so possibly had some damage/mods made. The tub is in good shape, with no evidence of major damage.
In looking at the front suspension we see 2 different upper arms, and 2 different lower ones. Not sure which is OEM/original, where the "other" came from or when. Would like to know more.
Hopefully, I can get the photos attached.
Big differences >>> left upper: has a round tube on leading edge, with back fabbed sheet, plated together; right upper: from outside appears to be all sheet fabrication. different attachment details outboard, and looks like the angle between ends is different, however different offset details on ends, so, might work out the same from pivots. left lower: had arrow tubing; right lower is all round tube.
Would appreciate any information. Also, if something is "wrong" would like to correct, so might be looking to match styles/parts to have same on both sides. I'd think the fully plated upper arm with areo lowers might be right... If so, perhaps someone out there has some spares to offer?
Thanks.
