Most peculiar and no major issue except this was not apparent until I'd spent 3 days at a mates garage fitting it all up with new coilovers all round. Messing about with new/old style beam bushes in and out to get floor clearance. Eventually get wheels on and of course 4wd side is sticking out.
That is actually not correct. The 2wd (sapph) and 4wd arms are exactly the same, finis code 5029060 for the RH and 5029061 for the LH. The ones with a thicker hub mounting surface are from a Granada mk3 (giving the wider rear track). Besides the wider track the camber on the Granada arms is also more negative, because of the higher ride height of the Granada.
