Achieving huge angle is all about creating clearance for the wheel and the suspension components associated with the hub and steering knuckles. Creating this clearance is all about designing a good lower control arm and moving the wheel away from the frame. This means you must create a much longer LCA and move the shock mount point farther from the center-line of the car. Moving the shock mounting point for this kind of clearance means cutting out a portion of your frame. You also need longer outer tie rods.
The knuckles were shortened to the extreme, basically as much as they could be. I also reinstalled the rack spacers, however I shaved each of them down to .080" thick, from their original .145" to create the perfect stopping point.
I took the car out for testing shortly after, everything worked great!
Could you give more specs on your lca and tie rod lengths? Whats angles of the strut now. Im interested in doing this to get more angle.

ReplyDeleteDid you get rid of the front sway bar? How does the car feel without it?
ReplyDeleteI don't use any sway bars on my car, the car was way to snappy with the thick swaybars I had and the stock front swaybar creates interference with the wheels. Also, I'm not going to give out any specifications on my control arms, some people have tried to make a profit on my designs.
