dirtydiesel Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Superiors Super flex arms for the patrol are a neater design that would probably be easier to adapt to a rover setup. The toyota arms just hang down way too much real lack of foresight by toyota, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 IMO placing the radius arm bushings closer together will give less control against torque reaction, and would increase axle hop under conditions where the front axle is scrabbling for traction. Besides, the last few seconds of the video showed the left front wheel lifting on what appears to be fairly mild terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Bill nailed it there. I really hate that kit ! I think mr prop shaft will hate it too? For a tiny bit more work it could have been a proper 4 link kit. I mean, by the time you've made up a new 'sub frame' to use the old axel mounts and made a brand new radious arm set, you're only a chassis-anchor mount 'kit' off a proper-job. It seems a bad way of doing stuff that's been better done on jeeps for years. And I still think 'flex' isn't patch on diff locks, and flex makes it roll over easier. But there's plenty of threads on that subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
