depends on which chassis you are referring to.
the type 44 does not have a wishbone or a-frame lower arm in front.
there is a 2-point lower control arm (subframe pivot and intergral ball
joint).
the other lower locating member is the end of the antiroll (sway) bar,
which is attached to the lca near the ball joint.
