dirty , i cut my whishbones becourse my roadster is to low to have any suspension underneath . i thought that the build in swaybar effect was a draw back . thats why i kept them that long , so they bend easier .also a bonus is that the rails are narrower when you go farther to the front , so the bending/binding problem is not as bad , when the body leans in a corner .

Nice work there, Metalshaper.
Dug, as stated above, The strongly built torque arm as in the examples above is ideal when using split bones. The lower links on the above setups could easily be replaced by early ford parts mounted outside the rails, BUT the attachment to the axle must be flexible. The forward attachment should include a shackle or twin heim joint to reduce bind. But at the end of the day, we're not talking rock crawling max articulation 4-wheel drivers here, Suspension movement is rods is normally pretty limited so we can, er, BEND the rules. Mart. |
