ok,.. A quick tutorial for folks who don't know what all this stuff is. For the record, I just found out myself. :D So,... I thought I'd share it with other folks.


Mercury Marauder Rear Suspension Components

Control Arms (2 upper, 2 lower)- They limit the forward and rearward movement of the rear axle in relation to the frame.

Lateral Arm Assembly (Watts Link)- It is connected to the rear axle differential housing by a pivot. It controls the side-to-side sway of the vehicle.

Rear Stabilizer Bar- It aids in the control of suspension travel and restricts body roll.

Hope this helps!!!

Everyone who buys the control arms:
Please read the sheet provided with them!
The upper arm has 2 different sized bushings.

Helm's manual?...... yes. I just photoshop'ed the names in.

Thanks Zack! I'll be sure to read the directions! :up:
