Made a first draft of the front strut design. Still a lot to sort out:


I made the steering part way too big and it would interfere with the frame. It will have to be higher or lower than the frame rails throughout the suspension travel.


I still need to add 3 or 4 screws to sandwitch the two outer aluminum pieces. In the middle, the thinner L shaped part holding the shock also serves as the retainer part for the bearings. The two outer pieces are drilled through size of the bearing, and the thinner center part is smaller.





















Also I can see the lower suspension arm is going to be very short, almost like two of these ball joints screwed onto each other. This will make it hard to make the secondary arm like the actual car and attach it to the arm. Maybe I will put the mounting holes more towards center of the car. I am having other ideas as I write though :lolbeat: Nothing unsolvable I think
