80'S IN A LUX...ONE WAY OF DOING IT.
Moderators: toaddog, Elmo, DUDELUX
So do you think you'd need additional crossmembers if you chucked coils under a 106 with the solid axle already?Struth wrote:You get different rotational forces between IFS and coil, also the IFS system in a Lux already has a very meaty crossmember arrangement to take the loads at the right points, ie: where the torsion bar meets the chassis near the top of the chassis, this member gets cut out when coiling.ferrit wrote:If im not mistaken, doesnt IFS induce a torsional load on the chassis already? I know leafs will induce a stretching load.Struth wrote:Looks like a lot of PJs are required for this job
Are you not concerned about the torsional loads the upper spring mounts will apply to the smal lux chassis?
My engineer is and has requested a cross member either over or under the engine to remove such loads?
His advice makes sense to me, but is he underating the Hi Lux chassis?
And thanks for the thread, it's a good example.
Cheers
and doesnt an engine wedged between the two spring towers count as a brace?
I wouldn't reccomend using the engine mounts as part of a cross member either

I was also wondering how strong that would be i have hit 30cm deep washouts at 100 kph i cannot imagine the stretch load on the front 2 bolts on each side while doing this80's_delirious wrote:Looks goodjoeblow wrote:well, first drive today.
so its got plates on it. Does this mean its been engineered already? or just doing some testing?
Just wondering how the engineer responded to the radius arms mounting to the gear box cross member?
especially with the added leverage induced by the arm this will create massive turning moment trying to twist the crossmember off the chassis
it would be fine for rock crawling slow speed work but not as strong as factory chassis mounted brackets and could come unstuck when used as a tourer on hi speed dirt

I think you would probably be ok, dependant on how Toyota did it in the first place, unlike the Hi Lux the 106 chassis has been designed to accept coils, just keep the coils tucked in close to the chassis, if you hang them further out from the chassis than is really necessary you will multiply the torsional load they put on the chassis and will be more likely to break the chassisferrit wrote:So do you think you'd need additional crossmembers if you chucked coils under a 106 with the solid axle already?Struth wrote:You get different rotational forces between IFS and coil, also the IFS system in a Lux already has a very meaty crossmember arrangement to take the loads at the right points, ie: where the torsion bar meets the chassis near the top of the chassis, this member gets cut out when coiling.ferrit wrote:If im not mistaken, doesnt IFS induce a torsional load on the chassis already?

Awesome thread , going to have to put this one in my favs. just got gifted a coiled Gq wagon with disc's all round. trying to get ideas on how i might paste them under my hilux this has been an awesome read...
hey question for you. how do you go about getting your monts on there nice a sweet and everything good so you alignment is a good. i have had my own thoughts but would like to know how the pro's go about it
