5 link rear suspension question

Post by bigmd »

Ok so I picked up a JrxT off eBay and realized later that it’s been converted to rear control arms. I assume with the control arms the links from the chassis are obsolete ? It still has the chassis posts . Does anyone have the part numbers for the rear links that would replace the arms ? And do I also need to replace the hinge pins at the bulkhead to go back to stock?
Thanks

the bulkhead hinge pins should be the same, unless they swapped out to RPM hinge pins that only have 1 E clip slot.

Rear links are A-2004, which covers 1 side.

You'll also need the lower shock shackle as well which is A-5001 (or A-5010 which has spring clamps too)

Also if is doesn't have the squared off rear pivot support, that's A-2002.

All this info is in the manual, which can be downloaded here: http://vintagelosi.com/ManualsGuides.html
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Thank you sir. Also, the RPM .050 rear links are just a narrower version?

Yes they were used to give more toe in by replacing the front link.
