I suppose the same could be said for the Sierra version?
Are lower balljoints not designed to take the load, would the spring rate be too high(?) as lower mount would be a fair bit inboard from where it is currently.

Idle thoughts & prepared to be put straight

The soon to be released Vodou plans have the shock on the lower wishbone as that was the design used on my prototype car.
