That's cool thanks do you get any camber change?

Cheers andy

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.

That's great info thanks

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. 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

Hi Frallan. It's in da werks section entitled: 'my new car for next year'. It's by Adelle Vw

Bit of an update..



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.



3/4 built arms



Locating mounts tacked into position for mock up



Not sure on final ride height yet..

[Frallan]

Thanks All Torque.
