    Those look pretty cool, probably stronger than shitty speedway shackles. I wouldnt be carving corners though.​

    Front eye does most of the work. Rear is just along for the ride. So to speak. LOL.

    So in your line of thinking the rear tires can be bicycle tires...cuz the front ones do the important work?:rolleyes: Both ends support the axle and thus the vehicle.
