Front Suspension






This is what I have drawn up for the front suspension minus the shock and brakes. I am figuring the steering axis inclination at a 15 degree angle in the diagram. The steering axis inclination is the angle at which the two lines intersect with the bottom patch of tire and the pivoting point of the A-arms. I will do more research on suspension geometry before doing a finally design and mock up. I am trying to keep to simple geometry that should make fabrication easier. I think most of these parts can be built with patients, a drill press and a hacksaw. I will probably use aluminum because it is fairly easy to work with.
