    Hello Folks,
    I'm looking for a front suspension kit for a Brazilian Maverick at Kanter auto. It seems they can't find the correct equivalent since the American car had quite a few changes on the A-arm bushing dimensions and two different ball joints (3 or 4 bolts) on the upper arm during the production years. Does anyone know the equivalents or the Brazilian model bushing dimensions? :huh: Thanks,
    W. Tavares

    -Hello,i think you have to buy the whole swingarms with bushings and ball joints and replace everything to avoid problems,anyhow i don't think you have to go as further as Kanter,i believe you can get'em at popular stores as Advance auto parts for a lot less money.
