Here are pictures of 1:1 aftermarket (modded for rally) escort front suspension. See how the lower arm is actually two pieces, one is the main arm (a link with two ball ends really) and there is a second link to locate the arm and prevent fore-aft movement.










I think the production Escort MK2 had similar main arm link, but the secondary link served a double purpose as it was also the sway bar (if I understand the pics correctly).












I think I am going to do the modded version, and have the sway bar separate, as it will be easier to dial in the suspension. To start with I am not going to put sway bars, at least not right from the start. It looks like people are modding it to simply replace the sway bar attachment by a link attached to the chassis.
