Radius arm pivot point...

Post by MONGREL »

Just curious if someone has modified a patrol radius arm to pivot properly at the chassis, rather than compressing rubber between 2 flat surfaces?
Seems to me that would be the reason for the lack of travell in the front end?!?!

Search.. :P

The way the radius arms bolt to the front axle is the primary reason for a lack of flex.

They wrap around the axle too much. This stiffens the suspension. Good for road stability not so good for articulation.

the chassis mount isnt the limiting factor. it shares the same design as range rovers which flex well front and rear. also mogota runs almost solid bushes at one end and radius arm mushroom bushes at the chassis of the lowers.

look at the superior flex arm for what needs to be done.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

Superior sure live up to their name! Great products and alot of it. Standard hight super flex arms, be good if they had some info on how they improve flex.

The x link just forces one arm down when the other goes up? Rather than freeing up the movements.
