Re: Making front upright safer

Hello Jean Fourie at CAV,

Are you saying the NEW front uprights are safe?

You mentioned that what failed on the old upright is the ball joint. That is not what I have been hearing. I hear that the ball joint doesn't have enough movement range and that puts undue stress on the mounting blocks. I hear it is the mounting bolts that break.

My car is the 17th built and this upright thing has got me frustrated. A car that you can't have confidence in is no fun.

Casey
