This is a homemade concept sketch (not a factory document) illustrating a planned rear suspension link/radius arm setup, uploaded to a 1984 Ford Bronco gallery as "rear arms4.JPG". The drawing shows two long link arms labeled "DRIVERS SIDE" and "PASSENGER SIDE", drawn in black tube with red-outlined ends. Each arm's frame end is labeled "1" HEIM", indicating 1-inch heim (rod end) joints at the frame mounting points, with a callout box reading "FRAME END". The driver's side arm shows a secondary upper link or wishbone mount using a "3/4" HEIM". Two round shapes on the left are labeled "AXLE", representing the axle tube ends with mounting brackets. The axle ends of both arms carry the handwritten question "BUSHINGS ON THIS END?", indicating the builder is deciding between bushings and heims at the axle side. A specification box notes the arm material: "2" OD TUBE, 1.5" ID" (2-inch outside diameter tubing with 1.5-inch inside diameter, i.e., 0.25" wall). The sketch conveys planned joint sizes, tube dimensions, and mounting orientation for a custom long-arm or link-style rear suspension conversion, but contains no part numbers, torque specs, or year/model applicability information.
