Wide Track Width (where does it come from?)
Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2004 1:11 pm
Now, there is the wide track Feroza and the narrow track Feroza, but where does the extra width come from?
I know that wide track means that the left and right wheels are further apart (ie. wider track).
The back is easy, obviously the axles etc are longer, but what about the front?
I doubt that the chassis would be different (wider), so is it the upper and lower 'A' arms that are longer, or somthing around where the wheels pivot for steering, or do the rims have a larger offset?
My guess would be that the upper and lower 'A' arms of the IFS are longer and therefore the wheels would be further out. (widetrack).
If this is the case then a wide track Feroza should have a little more front wheel travel up and down than the narrow track?
So does anyone know where the difference is???
