suspension measurement request - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

redlined600 · 02-25-2016, 11:49 AM

I'm working on a little project and would appreciate if someone could get me a measurement off the rear suspension as my car is currently in storage.

I'm looking for the distance from the center of the upper ball joint to the axis where the LCA connects to the upright.

Thanks!

I believe it would be distance between: 'Rear Lat Link - Outer Pivot' and 'Upper Wishbone - Outer Ball Joint'

This should get you in the ball park. I will mention that we have found several errors with the CAD data supplied from Toyota. Best bet would be to purchase a rear knuckle/hub.

Thanks for the model image @racerx1715 !!!

Is it bad I tried to rotate the image, lol.

fwiw the spreadsheet states 5". Maybe the owner (@Shankenstein ?) would like to edit it?
