A joint which can move side to side or up/down as well as twist.  (like a wrist)

~Nate


Half right! The wristed arm is a Ford Radius arm that has a hinge that moves up and down, allowing the axle/suspension to move freely, and have almost 0 bindage!


This is the arm pinned.


Here it is unpinned. Off road only!!

how did any of you get the jeep coils to work? I got some cherokee coils and they are quite a bit bigger in doa then the stock rears. I can't see how they would seat on the axle end. plus the top is smaller in dia than the stock one?

My Cherokee coils were not smaller up top?   But I bought them and was told that they were Cherokee coils, I did not pull them off of a Cherokee ???  Is your ride a Sport.  1998 Sports have a larger DIA up top then my Kick (So I'm told) .   My coils actually sit on the axle and wrap around the bucket right now.   I plan on making new buckets and moveing the top bucket rearward once I get settled on the suspension set up.  It functions well now as is but not designed as a perminent long term set up.
