Bundy front end flex ;)

Post by -Nemesis- »

No it's not what you think :finger:

I'm looking at doing a coil bundy SAS on my 4Runner and after reading everything last night I could find here on Bundy's and their apparent lack of flex I have a few unanswered Q's:

If the arms are so badly designed to not flex, what would be some suggested approaches in arm designs when starting from scratch? There is significant emphasis on on-road poise so i don't want no booty fab set ups that offer dirty flex.

I know for instance that the 3link (?) rear on the 4Runner flexes very well without s-bars and with long shocks, so can the front be set up similar to this somehow?

What are the pro's of a 5 link in general and why does it make better flex? (i'll try search this one after posting :P ) I'm just getting my head around the design side of suspension, so any n00b info is appreciated.

And has anyone got access to any coil front end shots showing different set ups?

i have a mate who just swapped in a 80 series coild font end into his hilux using stock 80 series arms,

if your going the same method, you could leave the standard setup as it will give you good on road manners,

then for off road, you could move the front left bolt which will give you great front end flex,

youll have best of both worlds

I like the sound of that, especially the width. What did he do about the back end?

Was it a massive headache organising the spring locations etc?
