In the next week or two I'll be installing my pro-built 700r4, which (as I understand it), means the LCA's have to come halfway out. Anything I should do to/with them (or replace them) while I'm already halfway there? Stock 5.7 TPI... Is the $105 worth it for a pair of spohn tubular/poly LCA's? Will I notice any difference? This is my weekend/fun/cruise car, so I don't want to make the ride any harsher or more vibration or anything.

comments are appreciated, thanks!

 

why do the LCAs have to come out, i thought it would be just the torque arm? that's how it is with my T5.

 

Hmm. Guess I should have researched this one a bit more before posting.

I just picked up the car a few weeks ago and I haven't actually looked at the rear susp yet from underneath, and this is my first third-gen. (just a tiny bit different than the leaf springs on my '71 RS!) From what I've read, I thought it was the LCA's that connect to the rear of the tranny.

anyhow, ok... anything i should do with the torque arm while i'ts halfway out? Same question..

 

A tubular torque arm will help launching and cornering quite a bit...gonna cost a little more than $100, though

 

i'd put a new bushing/mount on the front of it if you're going to use the factory piece.
