Your rear arms are upside down and on the wrong sides.

the old style lunsfords with the big nut on them were available in 1989 jugding from rcca mags, and the tq10 article was jan 90, so i think the rcps were basically lunsfords right?

Got some more done today. Installed new rear arms, installed the front steering knuckles and castor blocks. New tires and wheels ready to be mounted. Need to clean up shocks and tranny tommorow.
