hey all, just wondering if any of you are running those 3rds hinged front control arms on ur patrols, and if so how much of a difference to travel and flex did they make?

Pm or wait for REPLY off OZY1 (shawn) he has em in his swb (soon MWB ) Troll they seem to wrk quite well in his rig although his long wheelbase has some swheet flex for 3 link too (maybe a spot on coil rate ?)

I've been running 3rd's arm since start of last year. The only thing I noticed is that I pushed the arms into the chassis. To fix it I just welded some 5mm plate into the chassis to strengthen it and replaced the bearings in the knuckles with normal rubber radius arm bushes. I've had no problems since. It doesn't allow it to flex much more than nomal but it flexes a lot easier which keeps the vehicle more stable through rough stuff. They are massively stronger than standard and you have a choice of 3 or 4 degree castor correction. PM me if you have any more questions or you can call Fernando at 3rd's (the owner). His number is on his web site.
