I use standard Mini trailing arms on my Moke with 13 inch wheels. No problem.


You probably run 175/50R13 tyres on them??

To run larger diameter tyres (eg: 175/70R13) you still need the longer trailing arms.

Beware that using a large diamater 13 inch tyre with a Mini diff ratio (3.76 or lower number) makes acceleration glacially slow.

just the other day i was thinking that might be worth it for my highway driving.. :D

I recently traveled 632 miles in my Moke thru rain and hale, wind and had a blast, Driving a Moke makes you feel you are alive

and you meet so many interesting people who come up to you and chat.

The worse thing is the wind buffering my ears, it gives me earache so i where a pilots hat and goggles on longish trips
