I actually have a prototype front suspension on my car now. I've been to the track with it for 3 days and so far so good. I was floored by the difference made by replacing the poly bushings with the low friction ones I've prototyped. Just like in the rear, with the poly bushings in place and no spring or shock on I still struggled to move the suspension up or down. You could just see the poly bushing's shoulders mashed into the frame and causing binding. With these bushings in the stock control arms they go to full droop just under their own weight. I've incorporated a few changes in the upper control arm in an effort to ease re-assembly. I also made a change to the mounting of the lower control arms to try to reduce any excess clearance without making binding of its own. Unfortunately I've been battling other stupid issues that have kept me off track much more than I'd like but hope to get back to it soon. |
