First, take a look at successful short/long arm IRS systems.

Not to mention bushing design needs to be looked at due likely issues with shudder when powering out of a corner. And this is just a start!

I'm trying to think about how you could make a IFS work without too much trouble, and I'm not seeing it. I guess it could be done, but not something I'd be happy with.
How were such difficulties solved in the Fiero design? Did they perhaps swap the spindles from side to side?

Merry Christmas!
