      why would you want to do that, and would the steering arm not hit on anything?

        Because then I can get externally adjustable rear shocks. The steering arm would be removed. Issue is I am going to need new strut tubes as the stock rear on passenger side is very very corroded. I can get new front tubes off a b3 front the junk yard for like 20 bucks.

            For 20 bucks, try it and let us know. Considering that the top mounts are the same, the width of the hubcarriers are the same, the ball joints bolt up the same way, then I would say yes. Again for 20 bucks, try it and let us know. Would be nice to be able to adjust Koni stuts in the rear at the top, and not have to put a hole in the strut tube to adjust the bottom adjuster.

              Well I already test fit some using the rusted ones, just thought I\'d see if this was a BTDT thing. I\'ll go do this and report. I\'ll be getting koni yellows, are there any dual adjustable units other then KW?
