Re: Front Sub rails replacement possible?

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My memory sometimes gets me into trouble, but one thing I remember distinctly was the press release for the "new Eagle" stating it wasn't a concord on a Jeep frame. It was based on the Concord body, however the only shared suspension part was the upper control arm. Are the rails the same? I'm guessing they are,but I would go for another Eagle for a donor just to be sure.
