On a sand car with little or no front brakes, it will not make much of a difference. On something heavy with good brakes, it will make a huge difference. It will be most noticeable in the like of the hiems. And yes, I have seen them fail, even on big name race trucks (Pfluegers, Jesse Jones's original TT)
As for it being OK, I would try to do everything to get around it. But like everything its a balancing act, trading a little weight/strength for better geometry is sometimes worth it. When your building a buggy from scratch without space restrictions, its not worth it. |

Update. The partners split.The builder is keeping the business.It's just him and 2 part timers now that come in if needed. I have heard he will take an order for a car though. I wish him well.

Well to keep the WB I want and to have the option for fitting a bypass in there this arm fits the bill. Everything on this car I am working on is a excercise in stuffing everything into the smallest area possible. I suppose I could run a-arm back to the side of the cage but then the travel starts to suffer. Eh it's all a compromise.
