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.

good find if they are the same. that could be a nice little upgrade"See that car, in the 80's that car was deadly." Random man to his son while passing the GTX in a parking lot

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.Ian Boyd- Bellingham, WA (click vehicle to view)
