Mk3 cav rear trailing arms on a mk3 Astra ?

[vectra640]

Will they fit and is it a straight forward job or is it an arse of a job, does anyone have any pics of one that's been done

[Nemesis]

Mk3 Astra is a beam so nowhere to put the trailing arms

Unless you mean using the complete rear subframe off a Cav with trailing arms as well

[vectra640]

basically yes the rear subframe, will it bolt straight on to the astra as the non 4x4 cav had beams

[tiff_lee]

didnt the non 4x4's have IRS as well though?

[pie]

all cav gsi n calibra had IRS

[tiff_lee]

Yeah so it will 'bolt on' once you weld in a calibra or cav rear end lol

[pie]

and alot of chopping about etc as the petrol tank on a IRS cav/cally is right behind rear bumper

[tiff_lee]

fair one, best bet would be to check out some of the 4x4 mk3 project threads

[vectra640]

Any links? the 2wd had beams except 4x4's and GSi's, can't imagine they altered the chassis that much to make it 4wd except move the tank for the prop and exhaust

[pie]

best one i can think off is RC build

yes its rwd but RC is using a IRS setup

Ronnie's project RWD :D - mk3 astra gsi turbo rear wheel drive ;)

[vectra640]

both of them look a lot of work, i think i'll leave that for the next project lol
