I would like it to handle a little better, be able to use standard type
bearings, and also I would like to put airbags and disk brakes all around.

  Something that may help:
  1. The halfshafts and lower rods attach to the transaxle, and are located by
that component.
  2. The toe control rods at the front are also attach to the transaxle,
through the front bracket, and are located by that component.

  As such, the attachment points you REALLY need to be concerned about are:
  Front of the control arms.
  Springs.
  Shocks.

  And, as always, the question that goes begging is, what do you wish to
accomplish here?

    I want to work on a drawing for my Rampside to put late car rear
suspension
    underneath it.
    What I would like to find out is are there any drawing and or
specifications
    listing the dimensions and attachment points of both the late cars and
the
    FCs?

    I would appreciate any info, Thanks!
