I doubt it'd have much driveline strength, but the front end of the LADA NIVA ( Hah ) looks pretty well designed, nice long arms & coil springs, ( anyone know how much travel it has ). I think they have a strange diff mounting arrangement though. If you could get your hands on a Haflinger ( there's still some around ) I think they have Portal hubs?

The old ford broncos had a really long-travel IFS system where the arms crossed over in the middle. The diff was attached to one arm, so one side was almost like a solid axle (only a CV at the wheel).

Anyone have practical experience with it? If it can stand up to a bronco with heaps of weight and a big V8 it should be OK on something smaller and lighter.

It's also unbalanced - the suspension needs to control more weight on one side than the other. I'm not convinced the minimal advantages over a live axle are worth the reduced articulation and the extra parts count.

He already has a lwb Vit with SAS and 37" rubber. This is a work in progress that he is playing with for some UK events.
