[DeTomaso] Quella Adjustable Upper Rear A Arms - Installation Help

[Mike Thomas]

Thanks Julian, I've got to study them a bit longer.  I'll call Dennis
tomorrow.  I'll snap a pic of what I've got and send it to you to see if
what you have are the same as mine.

 

Go 'Hawks!!

Mike

Mine are admittedly not from Quella but they use two tapered sleeves that
the heim sits between to prevent binding. The sleeves are not the same taper
as the oem ball joint, but tighten down into the taper to lock the bolt and
heim inner race in the carrier.
