    Aaron:
    The B4 cast/forged wishbones will fit, BUT the problem will be that there will be no mount for the ARB, since the B4 mount is on the strut...you will probably have to get the UrQ RR ones if you want the Cast Control arms....BTW, if you don't already have this website bookmarked, I recommend that you study it well: http://www.isham-research.co.uk/quattro/index.html - Phil Paynes UR website.

      The cast ones have the pickup for the arb, you can see the hole in the above pic.

            I actually have two of those mounts too if anybody wants them, rubbers need replaced due to me prising them out but the metal bits fine.

                857407147b is the same as 893407147d apart from the additional metal sleeved bush in the hole on 857407147B.

                  My friend Mike S is running the RR control arms in his 1983 UrQ...but said that the RR ball joints will be required to match the strut assys.

                    Of course I can, they are manufactured by the same company that makes them for 034Motorsport and shipped direct to me.

                    http://www.034motorsport.com/product...roducts_id=403 for information

                    Fitting the cast arms instead of the pressed items is one of the best mods you can make to improve the handling and feel of your car.

                    If you cannot afford or find a set of cast arms, then get your pressed steel items seam welded for the same rigidity.

                        Think i've sourced myself a pair of forged wishbones for a very very good price, they have good bushes in but since they aren't going straight on the car (infact sometime ) i'll probably zinc coat the wishbones and put powerflex or 034 bushes in them

                        Next question is how much are the Delrin bushes Corey?

                              You will notice an improvement with improved turn in and response.
