Re: Milano / Alfetta suspension interchangability

["Paul Bayly" <thebaylys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No.  The ED PN prefix Alfettas upgraded the torsion bars to a shorter design
and incorporated the rear spline mount into the sheetmetal floor, ditching
the cast iron cross beam of the earlier cars.  Happened about 1984 in Oz.
The 75/milano/90 has the same short T/bars.

Apart from that I think everything else will fit in the front susp.  Just
change any parts out in pairs to be sure (LH & RH).  AFAIK the GTV6 and
Milano's have 'removable' steering arms and the Alfettas are a single
casting with the upright. There may be angular or dimensionable differences
so I'd be careful here, and with swapping steering racks.

Subject: Milano / Alfetta suspension interchangability

Hey gang,

I just came across some suspension bits for a Milano,
and I'm wondering if they'll fit on my 75 Alfetta.
Aren't there some differences between the torsion
bars, or will the all interchange?

Also, what's the going rate for used Shankle/AR
Ricambi 27mm torsion bars and sway bars these days?

Thanks!
