Nope !
Diffs are pretty much UNIQUE to the Staz and some few trucks and sport Utes

on a widei the arms are longer and so is the radius rods so if you ONLY swap the arms the radius rod will "PULL" the arm forward IF you can get it to bend that far and this will cause the "Toe IN"

Follow me ?

ya you would have to bend the arms i didnt consider doing that. the radius rods change caster not toe though.......

Jeff

Caster is the STREIGHT forward and backwards angle of the strut assembly correct ?
Toe is the angle at which the wheel is angled INWARD or OUTWARDS Correct ?

So with the shorter rod you are technically affecting BOTH as you are pulling IN and Forward at the same time.

So in theory shorter radius rods will affect BOTH caster AND TOE-in

if yo u bent the lower arm enough i reckon toud get toe in but the tie rods would need to stretch eh?

I ment between the wide body and narrow body?

was wandering if the arms are the same on them or longer as with the front.

They would assume the IRS Scorpions and i think sigmas had the same setup too

that would give you a lot of caster, and also prob bump and roll steer.
