Name that part

Zoey · Sep 30, 2012

Yes, I am ignorant.:shy: Now that that is out of the way, I'm looking for some elementary information in the form of "What is this part called?".

I appreciate the forum entertaining my benighted questions. Your answers will help me to refrain from making references such as "The upper boomerang-shaped thingy". :laugh:

Cheers

Thanks Alex. Now I don't feel so inept if there are others out there who aren't sure what the names are.

Don't have SLC suspension visually memorized but I'm pretty sure....
c -- tie rod
f -- upright
e -- upright (part of)?
j -- drive flange
k -- pull (push?) rod?

Most Important: Note Alex's correct spelling of "thingie".

Thanks for the help Alan. In addition to reversing my ignorance, I need the information to help in naming bolt locations.

Today I started removing and measuring all of the bolts for the suspension. When the time comes to figure out what size washers are needed, I think this information will help myself and others.
