Hi,

Has anyone tried to fit a late ('88-) 760 sedan's multi-link rear suspension on to a 740? I know someone who's wrecking an '88 760 sedan and I'm pretty interested in fitting the rear suspension onto my '90 740 sedan. There's a few question I have, if anyone could answer them that'd be awesome.

1) Is it a bolt-on job? Does both cars have the same floor-plan? Would my 740 have all the holes necessary or will it involve some drilling?

2) Can the differential from my 740's live axle be fitted into the 760's multi-link? I know the late 760's got 3.73:1 diff ratio, and I think my 740's got 4.1:1 diff ratio. I'd like to keep the same diff ratio after the conversion, if I can.

3) What else would be involved in the conversion? From what I've seen, I think I need to change the fuel tank and exhaust pipes as well to accomodate the multi-link. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anything else involved?

I know this is going to be a big job, but the thought of an even smoother ride in my 740 is just too tempting. Again if anyone can help me out with this, that'll be great.

Will
'90 744 GL
