I spent some time in my microfiche this vacation and I noticed about the 16" version that not only were the rear trailing arms different but the big front suspension piece that holds the front wheel bearings is also different. This is the big thing with a ball joint at the top. Does anybody know how this front suspension piece may be different or superior on the 16" version. The rear trailing arm on the 16" version is different to allow mounting of a larger diameter tire. It would be helpful to know if this wheel bearing housing also enabled a lager tire to be mounted. If so, it might be regarded as a requied piece for those of us planning to install maximally large tires. If there is anyone else listening that can expound on the nature and purpose of 16" parts it would be helpful to have some comments posted. _______________________________________________ Derek Drew New York, NY CEO, ConsumerSearch drew@interport.net 212-580-6486 917-848-6425 (cell; this phone is a reliable way to reach me fast or to leave messages) Alternate numbers for the industrious phone caller that wants to try every avenue: 202-966-7907 (Work), 212-580-4459 (Home), 202-966-0938 (Home) |
