If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.

7 in diff or 7 1/2,they are two different lengths
Will check tonight or someone will be able to tell you length.
Just make sure you have the up to date as the whishbone lengths quoted were wrong by 10 mm iirc.

Depends what type of ends are fitted ,lobro or large nut on the end.
795 for the lft and 835 for the rht would be right for the ones with a nut on the end ie original sierra.

Lobro have two six bolt flange's on either end .

Sorry Rosco,mine are the old type.
There is a fair amount of give in those joints in regard to sliding in and out.
