No sweat if you were anyway. I can take criticism most of the time.

I Would have used a different grade steel for the tip.

 

[UNDR8D]

Like something harder? Like a TOOL steel...get it..tool steel lol

 

[awptickes]

I was thinking "softer at the tip" but that works too.

I know its triangulated, but a PHB would give you all the lateral support you need. It sounded to me like your tryin to get that with a sway bar. But I must not be thinkin right lol.

 

[UNDR8D]

No that was modman's suggestion.

The wishbone should be more than sufficient. Panhard bars are evil, especially in adjustable suspensions. Okay in racing or static suspensions though. If you've ever seen one on a bagged vehicle in action, it is atrocious the way it pulls the axle sideways and eventually binds.

 

[newb]

I could imagine. I can see it pull the axle in typical suspension travel when Im workin on my car lol.

Oh Z28 right. Ya not a big fan. I'm surprised that none of the chassis design texts I've read seem to mention that. They just say it adds unnecessary weight and takes up space.

 

[MESURMAN]

Nice Stuff, I still have that chrome air filter you bought me
for my Z28, would you like it? I can mail it along. Let me know.

 

[TurboMirage]

1g crx... Phb.

 

[UNDR8D]

Oh ya, bc of the straight axle right? And ya send me the air cleaner. I suppose I'll use it. Is it an edelbrock?

 

[eg6sir]

u bought it.. wouldnt you know best?

 

[TurboMirage]

yes, the straight axle.

Say what, that the PHB will move an axle, as the axle travles?
