I am wondering if the following front end parts from the bg fwd chassis will fit the bf fwd chassis. Front inner tie rod end, front outer tie rod end & ball joint.

outer tie rod=no, length wrong
inner tie rod= no, length wrong
ball joint=no, different size pin for knuckel

Thanks for the info trailrider098.

I have another question for u. If i use the bg front hubs will they work?

[trailrider098]

no, the hubs from a BG use different size bearings then the BF. An entire steering knuckle is what you would need. To do the swap u need to use the ball joint and knuckle from the BG though. also if FWD use FWD knuckles, if 4WD use 4WD. when you do the swap from BF to BG knuckles sloting out the mounting holes on your BF struts will be needed and using BG brake rotors and calipers also

trailrider098, I have a BG Protege @ my disposal. It has a disc back end & i would luv to know what parts from the BG Protege back end would i need to convert from a 4x114.3 to 4x100 hub.

you can also use BG shocks with BF top hats. You will also need to change the Tie rods because the BF one is smaller

as for the rear its a little more complicated

im really not to sure about converting the back ends from BF-->BG, if you have the car at your disposal i would say you should rip out the BG spindles and all the suspension linkage and strut assemblies then take them over to your BF and match them up.

im about to do the BF--> BG swap in the rear of my GTX as soon as i get my new coilovers
