Trailing Arms - Cranked, Rose Jointed, X-Joint

<< < (2/2)

NIVAD:
I fitted 3 degree correction arms and double cranked trailing arms from qt -

Range Rover Blues:
I've got the gwennn Lewis rear trailing links, they are bullet proof if a little heavy, basically they are twin tubed arms and will stand up to you dropping the car on them, others don't.

On the front I have QT 3 degree arms, I've heard all the arguaments but for the use you are going to put it to you won't be breaking them, they are pretty damn tough things.

By castor correcting you will quickly need a TD5 front prop (cardan jointed at the gearbox end) but the steering will be much better and the spring/shock seats will not be bound up.

Other than springs and long shocks that should more or less be it.  I had to space both my anti roll bars and fit longer brake lines but i can't thinbk of anything else.

I'm using the adrenaline double cranked trailing arms on my RRC. I think they are great, very solid. They move the axle back a bit so it's in it's original position and the double crank (bends) allow the axle to stand upright in it's correct position. I've got some QT castor corrected radius arms but haven't fitted them yet. Found out correct castor is essential the other day - While being towed the steering wanted to go to full lock. I had to hold the steering wheel quite tightly to keep it central. Never had this problem with standard setups.
The adrenaline radius arms look good in fact all the kit they supply would be fitted to the RRC if i had the money!
You may also want to consider an adustable panhard rod to keep the axles in line.
