mfg Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Studebaker added a feature to the chassis of the Avanti to aid in towing/lifting the car at the front. What was that item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Forged eyes on the lower control arm shaft to save fiberglass damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudeNorm Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have seen this feature on all the lower shafts I have. Mind you, they may all be from '63 and newer cars. Does that mean it was developed for the Avanti and used on all Larks, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I don't know for sure but it would be sensible from a logistics aspect to simply make the one part number for all production. It simplifies production, parts inventory at the factory, distribution center and dealer levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
