    Pinion Angle

    As ususal very interesting, but how to set up 4link, panhard and live axle for a car which actually needs to go around corners and needs maximum grip accelerating (still a Morgan but goes like a Porsch GT3 on straights and needs to learn the corners)? I need to fix now some angles of the...

    ...thank you very much, but for me as practioner this could be too complicated as I have no theoretical knowledge about the equations involved (maybe u have a tip on the net - German would be quite handy). As I don't want to take any chances on safety, more material seems to be the answer...

    in the U.S. Steeda has developed a similar link for the Ford Mustang (you find details on their web page 'steeda.com'). I have has build a 1:1 model out of wood to try kind of length and arrangements. Doesn't take long and avoids disappointment afterwards. BTW Bill I run a limited diff. , but...

    might try a 1 to 1 model made from wood ... BTW by how much does the pressure on the coil spring rise when you move it 1 inch to the inside (direction differential). Billy, actually I put roughly 350 BHP and 400 Nm through the axle ... hence, everything must be rather solid

    If you ever have seen the space which is available in Morgan behind the seats and the fuel tank and the concept of the ladder frame you know why they a live axle and actually very narrow leaf springs (which prevents of using composite leafs). The BTR axle is rather strong and I need to have...

    ...with the Morgan its only the body structure. The chassis is a steel 'Z' shape. On top of it its not very high. The three link doesn't work on my car, because of a chassis cross member. Hence, I have to find something different. Has some ever tried unequal length 4 link radius arms where by...

    The three link and panhard rod set up works fine, but what happens if you no space or a latter chassis to work with? I am looking to convert a Morgan to a 4 link, with 2 links forward and 2 links backwards. Any idea about the angles and possible problems?
