Adjustable lower trailing arms discussion.
Crazy2287 posted a topic in Steering, Suspension and Brakes
It's that time again, Lower trailing arms, I'm about to make me some. But i'm throwing this out there before i put money down incase it's a dumb idea. =P So the bees knees rose joints will cost about 72-85 bucks each for the 5/8ths - 3/4 size respectively(im thinking 5/8ths would be strong enough?). Was going to use 1 of them on one end of some 26mm OD with 3.2mm wall tube, This will allow about 1" of adjustment at 0.71mm increments (is that enough?). On the other end i would mount a receiver to take the standard size bush. I was leaning towards a rubber bush but i have a spare set of nolathane here i'll probably run first. With this, i should be able to make both lower arms for about $200 inc $50 for the bushes. So you don't have to picture it in your mind i found one similar to my thoughts on the google machine, just imagine it has a receiver for a polyurethane bush at the bare end: The other options is to keep the current style bush, in either nolathane or rubber, fabbed onto the same 26mm OD 3.2mm wall tube at each end. with a turnbuckle type thing machined up out of a piece of rod and stuck in the guts like this one here: Opinions, ready, set, GO.
