Recently bought a set of lateral links and swing arms, was about to paint them when I noticed that 3 of the lateral links have two bobbles on one end and one of them doesn't and this one is shorter than the other 3. Was told they were all from a bug sti, think the two bobbles are the end that goes into the subframe.

Any ideas on this, should one be shorter than the other 3?

 

Pictures?

 

Will get a picture later, not much to see really just need to know whether all lateral links should be the same length.

 

As you can see one has the two bobbles on one end and is longer than the other one, the other two links that have the brackets for the ARB links also have the two bobbles on and are the same length as the longer one in this picture.

 

double post.

 

BTTT

 

Anybody know the answer to this?

 

That looks like it's a plug weld mate which would indicate that the ends have been off at some point and then a sleeve inserted and plug welded at those's points to reattach them?
I also notice that the weld at that end doesn't look standard[factory] either.

 

lateral links should be the same length.

 

That's what i thought, am in contact with the seller so hopefully it will be resolved soon.
