Hi Richard

Thanks for your post and your suspension looks very nicely designed and built!

As I intend on solid bushing the bottom eyes, using chrome moly teflon, top of the range 5/8"X3/4" Rod ends that are rated a lot higher than the steel items, as mentioned on the outside, and of course using high tensile 5/8" bolts this should be strong, but I realise that if there was a flange on the inside of the upright then that narrows the loading of the upright down somewhat, or as you put it alters it from a single sheer force to better location, I suppose the question is how strong are the uprights and over engineering is better than under engineering. Maybe I could fit a brace on the inside between the eyes that is bent slightly to clear the CV Joint, but I don't reckon it will do that much!

It would be hard to change the outside of the arm to your method, but I wouldn't have any adjustment for camber and toe in!
My inside bushing is quite wide apart urethane and fitting rod ends there isn't going to achieve much apart from a camber adjustment.

Unfortunately I haven't a digi camera, but I will try and borrow one and post some picts
