If you look at the system in 2D then it's easy. However, in 3D we find that caster and camber changes as the knuckle travels through it's range of motion. As the knuckle moved up and down the relationship changed, becasue it was farther from the lower pivot point. The end result was the need for new steering knuckles.


Great explanation, thanks.

It was at this point where we quit talking about ideas to increase travel. Concentrating on rear articulation helps a lot as it makes up for the IFS short comings. This is why the solid axle swap is needed for any front travel over a few inches.


yeah, you are right. Also, a front locker would help to the IFS travel problem.
