Default Picture Request - 4th gen Radius Rods

Can anyone please share a picture from underneath a 4th gen showing both of the radius rods in relation to clearance to the motor and transmission? If you can, measurements would be nice.

The biggest help gets a free title change. Thanks

I need measurements from the rods to the closest part of the engine/transmission. I have tons of pictures on my other computer, but as some of you know my main computer decided to stop working recently. If possible see if you could create a straight line from the 2 17mm bolts on the LCA to the actual radius rod spherical bushings and see if clearance is an issue.

I would like shots from directly below the motor as well as one from the side showing the clearance heights.

Thanks guys.

here's two pictures from below the engine. the only pictures i have from the side are with the suspension disassembled.

in these two pics the car is on a lift with the suspension compressed normally.





i'll try to get the dimensions tonight after i get off work unless someone else has them.

i measured the clearances you asked for then i jacked up the car and took pics of where the measurements were takin at. so the numbers in the pics aren't accurate, as the car is jacked up.

Driver's side radius rod to oil pan = closet point is roughly 1.5 in



Passenger's side radius rod to the tranny = closet point is roughly 3.0 in directly above the rod.

i took a measurement from the beginning of the radius rod on the lca to the bushings and it was roughly 20 in. I don't see any clearance issues creating a straight line from the lca to the bushings ( on either side)

this pic is the passenger side just to give you an idea of how the measurement was done

i couldn't get one from directly below but del parker covered that any way. i did however take a measurement of the ground clearance at the lowest point on the radius rod (on both sides) and it was roughly 6.5 in. Heres a pic, ( the car isn't jacked up in this pic)
