| Hey all , I hosted some pics of the SQ parts in question. Here they are

| ccohen5 at compuserve.com says:
| The SQ has 4 radius rods that run from the front of the sub frame to the
| lower control arms and from the center of the rear body to the lower rear
| control arms.  My problem is the bushings in the rod ends have worn badly.
| The rods and the rod ends (only one rode end is adjustable/replaceable on
| each rod) are NLA.
|
| So I need to find a machine shop which will match the inner and outer
| dimensions of the rode ends and help me source replacement bushings.  This
| is not the sort of thing that shops do every day, certainly on the East
| Coast.  The Urq does not have these devices and the SQ roll bar which is
| thicker than the Urq I believe, uses large rubber bushings that also seem
to
| be NLA.  But that's another story.
|
| Any suggestions, has anyone had this sort of work done for them.  I know
| that single sweaters and many closed wheel sports prototypes use similar
| geometry but I don't know any of these shops.
|
| Thanks.
