Title: Re: Rear A Arms Post by: Andy Sykes on February 11, 2012, 22:09:23 pm http://home.comcast.net/~mlawless29/wkrswingtoirs.html That's cool thanks do you get any camber change? Cheers andy Title: Re: Rear A Arms Post by: Mike Lawless on February 11, 2012, 22:51:11 pm Yes but not very much. about 4° over the entire travel. This is due to the pivot points not being on a straight plane to the axle. For a drag car, it's not too bad. It's WAY better than the folts swing axle set-up it replaced. This is because the pivot points are a lot farther outside than the stock swing axles are. The toe change was severe too. Now it's not!
At ride height, there's about 1/2° positive camber. I built them with about 1 to 1.5° positive camber at ride height to factor in some flex. Title: Re: Rear A Arms Post by: Andy Sykes on February 11, 2012, 23:04:16 pm That's great info thanks :)

Great design with zero camber change. The only thing I would change on the design is to make a provision for adjusting the camber for initial setup. I am sure Wayne would make you a set. His work is some of the best around ;)

all i have to do if fab up a bracket for the coil overs (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/4e4b94e3.jpg) for a bit of extra strength i plug weled the bosses in as well (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/gluemixer/f1878ce8.jpg) cheers andy Title: Re: Rear A Arms Post by: Frallan on March 05, 2012, 04:26:56 am Check out Adelle and Steve's car in the 'in da werks' section as they had some fantastic a-arms made by Wayne Allman at the Intergallictic Custom Shop.

Bit of an update.. (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd37/StripTeaseRacing/59RHD/b4ae08fc.jpg) A arm in the making, the bearing housing is cut from a stock VW IRS arm so bearings are easily available and I can use my existing RLR/Strange brakes. (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd37/StripTeaseRacing/59RHD/9ad455a0.jpg) 3/4 built arms (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd37/StripTeaseRacing/59RHD/836f0a73.jpg) Locating mounts tacked into position for mock up (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd37/StripTeaseRacing/59RHD/7a567ff7.jpg) Not sure on final ride height yet..
