The only way to avoid the extreme camber changes is to extend the swing arm as long as possible to attach to the opposite frame rail as used in the Ford twin I-beam or to lower the pivot point below the axle centreline as used in later (early 70's) Mercedes Benz. Shortening the axle and attaching to the near-side frame rail will result in a raised roll centre, extreme camber change and possible 'tuck-under.' Also remember the early Corvair.Last edited by RestoRod; 02-24-2011 at 07:17 PM.

Duct tape is like 'The Force.' It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
