Fabricated A-Body spindle ideas and discussion
Based on this
post, I am going to have to revise my layouts for the extended balljoint roll center. I assumed the extended balljoint used in the
@BergmanAutoCraft arms was 1" taller, but it looks like it is only 1/2" taller which results in a net 1" overall when combined with the taller F-Body spindle.
@BergmanAutoCraft, is there room to go taller or would the balljpoint foul the wheel if you used a 1" taller balljoint with the F-Body spindle?
Shifting the mount back to engineer in the 7 degrees caster will move the UBJ closer to the wheel as well, so I suspect I am running out of room quickly.
Which prompts another though. This spindle design will probably require an 18" wheel. No option for someone to run a 17" wheel if they didn't want to step up in wheel size. I guess if someone wanted the extra caster they can run a stock spindle so not a lot of need. The only things missing would be the cartridge style wheel bearing and the option to run ABS.
