Questions on running a wishbone(now with pictures!)
Well, I built a sliding wishbone for my project "cheapskate 65" and I am now second guessing my decision. Is there anyone running one with stock type trailing arms? I am worried about excessive sway in the back end with my setup. Are my concerns a legitimate? Sorry, Forgot the pictures! :-)

As long as it is built right, it should be fine. The wishbone design is a legitmate stabilizing device.

Re: Questions on running a wishbone
Thanks for the compliments. As for the clearance issues it is pretty tight. It slides easily but there is little to no side to side movement between the two. I still need to add a grease Zerk to it also. What don't you like about your Watts link? I thought it turned out great!
