Re: [Amc-list] A front suspension idea!

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I think idealy the front would bolt on too. 
But, I'm not sure that is the best or needed. I believe the arm will likely need boxed when the strut mount is made flexible?
  Anyone know? 
  The strut keeps the arm from twisting on it's own yet twists the arm when the strut travels. 
Would the arm behave if the strut had a pivot point on that end or need boxed?
   If the arm behaves itself and stayed neutral then a bolt on bracket would be ideal.
If you have to box the arm anyway, then the stru could be mounted in any number of different ways.
 Would it be possible to place the rear of the strut in a position to allow it to travel equally with the lower control arm?
