I like the stuff "outside the box". A arm suspension seems to have many benefits. Could we see some more pics please. :?:

Very little if any bump steer in these from what i have been told. I can get you in contact with the guy that designed it all and tested it and worked out the geometry.

Now those of us who have seen that front end on your buggy could only hope that it would work better than what you have.

It works great everyone that has drove them swear by it for comfortable ride and easy in steering. The arms angles keep the front wheel at the correct angle themselves.
Dean you come to the creek I hope that Wild Bill will be there so you can see it work.
