IFS a differant approach

[sabreuk]

well i got this off my mate who has a vauxhall fronterra and an american lad posted it on there forum. apparantly with the pin in is for road use, pin out is for offroad which then when going over an obstacle forces the other wheel on your ifs down to give more traction. i thought it was a good idea but if you have seen it before then appologies. if anyone fancys making one then let us know if its anygood my fab skills are pants.

Isn't that what a spring or torsion bar does?

[sabreuk]

yes a spring or torsion bar does that job
however this device is supposed to give that bit extra droop to give extra traction.

Nice on siobahn I wasn't sure if it had been seen before and reading the other thread there wasn't much said about it just what the link told ya. So is it a good idea or not?

You would think that if it was that good an idea that some of the bigger US companies would pick up on it.
I think I would rather go with a solid axle swap myself.
