I wonder how many degrees of movement that spindle has. I recall that we get about 14 degrees in each direction of our C14/ZX14 CHS. Have you thought about adding a swaybar to your outfit? |
degrees of movement? do you mean the amount of steering?
lock to lock was a bit limited, i am considering remaking the front end as i was not happy with the braking ability, wheel mounting was poor and when stationary steering was really heavy, and seeing what you guys are using has given me lots of ideas for inprovement,
a swaybar, think there is lot i could do to improve sidecar suspension as at moment its just an indespention unit(trailer type,rubber block)
i am thinking along the lines of a single sided swinging arm with pivot in front of wheel, something like moses did here http://www.hpsidecars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=706&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
this what saluki looked like when she first arrived
this is original wheel and suspension, replaced with new
