    BG trailing arm and ttl's in BF gtx?

    question is, how interchangable are the rear suspension components of the bg (2wd or 4wd) with the bf gtx? I was installing some poly bushings into my escort trailing arms tonight and had a spare gtx trailing arm near by. The length from hole to hole seemed identical as did the hole id's. The escort trailing arm is boxed, where as the bf gtx is not. Anyone have any expierence with interchangability?

    I *think* they interchange but ain't certain.
    '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
    '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

      I mainly ask because if they do, I'd like to get the piercemotorsports bg ttls. If the weather cooperates this weekend I'll compare my Gtx ttls to my escorts

        good find if they are the same. that could be a nice little upgrade

            Not yet, ran out of good weather before I got to it. possibly this weekend, if it doesnt rain the whole time.

              ive got lantis v6 cba trailing arms on my bfmp and swapped fine ,but the cba has a hole id bigger then bg as cba came with 5 stud hubs.And bg trailing arms and cba arms are swappable so it will work

                I believe Michael is correct. I took this picture the other day.


                Far left is the bf trailing arm the two on the right are escort gt arms with urethane bushings. Same length and te spindle side is identical. The chassies mounting side is slightly different. The bg has a larger id than the bf. this might be simple enough to over come.
