Not sure if/how well it'd register the shock loads though. Are you recording lateral Gs? That'd be an interesting comparison for all these links! I don't think those rear toe rods see squat for loads. I wouldn't put any faith in there being a design basis for the aftermarket ones by VB&P, etc. If they guess at it and overbuild it by 1000%, it'll never break, and therefore the design will never be reconsidered. I'd like to see if they even load up much when you hit a curb or bump strip. Question though, don't you run into length limitations on the strain guage wiring? |
