hmm, i reckon they would transmit NVH if you used them on both ends of your arms, might be good on one end only though.

will soon have a new 360 drg pivot that will go in your arms (design permiting) alowing the use of std bushes in each end and preventing any bind up with sh1t load of movement
these bollock joints only have a small range of move ment

Hayden,
will be inm touch very soon.
what i want to do is make the links longer fit better joints to allow greater movement. At present i have adjustable rear links and raised Aframe but still to restrictve. At the front I have modified the front arms to correct pinion angle, castor and to sit as per stock in the chassy, bush these will be extended aswell with ball jointat the chasy.
Regards
Michael.

hayden, at the moment i am using poly bushes to allow vertical movement [the rubber bushes ripped as they do not spin on the mounting bolt] and the arms twist to allow articulation but horizontal movement is restricted by the poly bushes, does your design fix that ?

I have been running and testing the 360 degree swivel for a few months and man I love them. I can flex my POS 5 feet in the rear and the swivel just laughs at it.
I will be at XRCC round 1, so chuck your head under my rig and cop an eye full. 8)
