The crush tube is definitely gone then, its not in the old arms or with the old hardware either so I must have accidentally turfed em. If you've got the measurements of one it shouldn't be too hard to find a piece of tube to make them up. 

With the double-wide brackets it actually looks pretty straight forward to cut the mounting plate off then mod them to suit a standard sway bar. Got nothing to lose anyhow because I have the stock ones sitting right there. Time to do some geometry.. or well time for chatGPT to do some .

So - to change the standard castor positive by 2 degree, the mount needs to be picked off and welded 20mm forwards of the original sway bar mounting position. 




I have a science experiment to do tomorrow!

.... But when you lower the car 2in, you'll lose 1deg of caster... Apparently due to the pivot angle from the swaybar mount hinge swing..??
I'll get the dims tomorrow morn on the crush tube
