Hot Rods Screwed up...stupid question??

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by 16ozSchlitzMan, Nov 4, 2017.

  1. I was welding my shock tabs on a bone and I did it on the wrong side of the bone......can I switch the bones from one side of the axle to the other??.......These are original 32 bones...I'm not sure of this...they seem to be interchangeable...
     
  2. Photo's help.

    BTW,leave those 16 oz. Schlitz alone while working. :D HRP

    When you consider how many wishbones have been split over the years and how they were used, removed and reused by who knows how many people it’s doubtful they were always kept on the same side.
    I wouldn’t worry about it.
     

  5. These are the bones the one on the left is tacked...so I thought I could take them off and re-postion the shock tabs ...and then put it on the other side of the car....( on the driver side...it was on the passenger side.) So I'm asking can you switch the bones from side to side.OR do they fit only on one side.... IMG_2299.jpg

    Simple answer...
    Have you tried...swapping sides...to see how well it might work ?
