The new front swaybar linkage test part. This is going to be important in developing the new version of my ackerman arm. But this new version will also improve steering angle at the same time. I hope to fix the last two problems with the TriFive C4 swaps with this single, mostly, bolt on kit. These linkage are included in all stages of the TriFive and Task Force frames.





There are some aspects of the linkage that are not ideal but they have to work with several items that were not there to start with. Like the large diameter of the coil springs. Then you need to take all the motions into considerations like, articulation angles, of the sway bar, and rod end but this seems to work and there was no signs of impact or binding on the rod end after driving it for a little while so I'm moving onto a slightly different shape and design that will be a bit easier to weld and build.

Later,
