just, please read. http://rareparts.com/lower-control-arm.php as you can see, it is just a technicality. they are the same thing but can be rearranged to become something different.
A wishbone is a type of control arm.... A control arm being any structure that controls the movement of the hub. An "A-arm" is a Wishbone-shaped control arm. An example of a non wishbone control arm would be a trailing arm which could be a simple rod.
Or you can just read what I already linked which clearly states a wishbone and control arm are not the same thing. "The inboard (chassis) end of a control arm is attached by a single pivot, usually a rubber bushing. It can thus control the position of the outboard end in only a single degree of freedom, maintaining the radial distance from the inboard mount. Although not deliberately free to move, the single bushing does not control the arm from moving back and forth; this motion is constrained by a separate link or radius rod.[SUP][1][/SUP]The inboard (chassis) end of a control arm is attached by a single pivot, usually a rubber bushing.

Wishbones are triangular and have two widely-spaced inboard bearings. These constrain the outboard end of the wishbone from moving back and forth, controlling two degrees of freedom, and without requiring additional links." if you cannot read, not my problem. Its not technicality, its the rest of the industry misreferencing it as is already commonplace with various car parts such as intercoolers which are in fact not intercoolers.
Hey! Just so everybody knows ... I'm not dead, nor gone! I'm just in the process of moving across the states. I WILL be coming back to this project as soon as I can pull my desktop out of it's box and actually use it. To address some concerns: 1. I know the suspension is ultra soft and causes rollovers. I set it up for maximum flex, but it does lead to issues driving TO the trails. A more drivable set up is in the works. 2. I know the A-arms/shocks/etc nodes are super weak, and it's an issue I've been having with my Baja version of this thing. I'm still figuring out how to apply the values I want to the nodes and beams while still being being able to USE them. I apologize for the delay. Between life and the degree of difficulty in modding, it's going to take a bit of time.
you are new to the fourms so ill cut you some slack. :Look at the post date ahead of you it 2014. Some old mods don't work sadly like this one ,don't post on old threads or inactive threads.
Old and outdated. The file structure is set up for the old system, not the latest system. The mod probably won't work either because of all the changes to the D-Series since this was released.
