Let's take trojan to task here. Use as an example a front lower a-arm with no rake. Seems pretty simple and I'm sure that many of us have built them (notice I didn't say design or engineer them). Starting at the frame , detail for us where you would start with engineering them. Lets assume they are 20 inches long. Shock mounts to a arm 15" from frame pivots. ASsume the arms are symetrical and the mounts are spaced 12" apart.Car will weigh 1200#'s with a 60/40 weight distribution.Car front track is 72". Objective is to allow the arm to survive a 10mph impact to the outer heim from any direction with an immovable object/tree. What else is needed? ANyway,trojan ,engineer it.
OK, after being beaten over the head with a dictionary (thanks Oz)
