Reply to "New top front arms"

edgeMember

I bolted the arm in place, fitted the wheel to test steering clearance & its got heaps of room.
Thats with a 285/40-15 with a central offset 15x10" rim.
If you had wheels widened outward it could be an issue.
Yes, moving the lower arm attachment point forward would be good to even it out.
To be honest, with the wheels in the straight ahead position, its difficult to pick the top arm modification.
I went for the tubular look as the factory arms, (to my way of thinking) look to chunky & mass produced sheet metal.
The stock shape arms certainly don't do much for the asthetics of a sexy sports car.

Ultimatly I would have prefered to make longer arms, change the upright with more kingpin inclination & less rim offset.
But that will be much further in the future as already I have too many ideas for this car.

Make the arms for sale?
Maybe.
I will want to test first & see what the durability is like, how the rod ends stand up to street use etc.

regards,
Tony
