  • Capri Control arm swap?

    I remember seeing a capri LCA swap thread a while back but I can't seem to find it during a search. Anyone have it bookmarked?

    323 1986-1989 LCA rings a bell with the third mounting point added in. I believe the 1st gen 323 and the N/A Capri would probably have the same LCAs given they have the same axles and transmission, etc...

      right I am looking for that thread is all... mainly for the pics...

      I've got something in the works for my newest acquisition that does not involve capri control arms but similar ones to them.

        EGT front arms... anywho, i recal the pics mentioned and the rear point was an aluminum block bolted to the floor with the bushing pressed in IIRC. of you're going to do this, please re-enforce the floor with some 1/8" plate steel.
        Trees aren't kind to me...

        currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
        94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

          Believe me I will be doing a good bit of reinforcement... if you have the pics could you post them up? I recall the ones you mentioned.
