    Converting Single A-Arm to Double

    The rear steering will be switchable between in-phase and out-of-phase. I've been looking into the Honda and Mazda 4ws systems. The differences between them basically amount to the Honda system determining whether in or out of phase by the steering angle. The idea is that at high speeds, low...

    Nevermind, after navigating the site a bit I found that you already have this listed. Thank you very much.

    Converting Single A-Arm to Double

    Thanks again for the information given so far. While reading up on steering geometry I came up with another issue, possibly what Greg was trying to inform me of. The original steering geometry is based on a two wheel steering system. I am switching to a four wheel steering system and I believe...

    Converting Single A-Arm to Double

    The front suspension of the car the suspension came from uses double a-arms with a shock. No strut is used in the front of the car. I did look into what you spoke of though and it seems like the perfect solution to what I need. Thanks for your help. Now it's just a matter of modifying it to fit.

    Converting Single A-Arm to Double

    That wasn't exactly what I was thinking of, but it looks pretty interesting, thank you for the link. I suppose that could be used to do the same thing that I was planning on doing. Can you explain what effects result from changing the kingpin angle like that? Also, do you know how a system like...

    Converting Single A-Arm to Double

    Thank you both for your suggestions. I was looking at the design and came up with an idea. Instead of adding an entire control arm, would it be possible to create an attachment for the spindle that allowed rotation, with the shock mounted on top of that retaining the original strut dimensions? I...

    Converting Single A-Arm to Double

    Is there any advice you can offer in order to avoid improper tie rod location? I imagined the curves would be different, but I don't currently have a modeling software to see how it would change. I'm writing this thread mostly to ensure there aren't things that I hadn't considered.

    Converting Single A-Arm to Double

    Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but I have read a few of the posts and found your information helpful. So I decided I would attempt to have my own question answered here. Currently, the vehicle I am working on has a rear suspension design similar to this (I apologize in advance for the very...
