Re: Roaring Forties 105

I havnt posted in a while so I will update.
I have had the car 3 years and I feel I should have finished it that’s why I don’t post .

Did a lot of suspension homework to get to this point.
Made arms 75mm longer, made new uprights from tube.
Doing this and using a modular bearing has reduced the scrub radius down to 13mm from over 100mm.

The upper and lower arms have a rose joint as the ball joint.
This is allowing for more neg adjustment if required.

The lower arms I made nylon bushes instead of the urethane, they were fiddley to make as they had to be size for size and required grease nipples fitted but they don’t have the binding effect.
