Hi everyone,

I am comming to the stage of my uni project where I have been designing my own EK fitment rear lower control arms.

I have come up with various designs but now need to find accurate dimesions on either stock arms or aftermarket arms...because I am mocking these up in 3D CAD software.

If anyone can help with the dimensions for example. Length, width, dimesions of bushings, radius of bushing holes, distance between centre points of bushing holes..etc. It will be so helpful!!!!

I dont know if there are any manufacture drawings to be found anywhere with the dimensions on??? These would be the most useful source. I will try asking some manufactures if they could give me anything, but doubt I will get much!! (Tegiwa got any? please)

Anyhow, any info will be greatly recieved!!!

who knows, if I make a sucessful design model, I may get a few made up after of course some stress testing...and maybe even decide to try and get a few into production......

EDIT: LCA BUSHINGS

looking at the tegiwa/function 7 - energy suspension bushing design.

Awesome, can you get the diameter of the bushes (so i know how large i need to make it bushing hole)
and the length on each one..

how many you got, all 3 or just one each end....I know the main shock mount in the middle is about 37mm in diameter. and the others are more like 30mm but need to know for sure..

cheers mate.
