Suspension
|
Rear
The original trailing arms are retained for the rear suspension, but heavily modified.
The main feature is the hub, this has been remade using a 3.3 turbo spindle. A new
housing was machined from solid aluminium, then a mounting flange welded onto the
existing trailing arm. The original rubber pivots have been replaced with needle
roller and ball race thrust bearings mounted in a cartridge that fixes into the
arm. Special spherical mounts allow for adjustment. Unfortunately I have no pictures,
but the next time I strip it down I will take some. The trailing arm has been heavily
reinforced. AP Racing 6 pot differential bore calipers and 3.3 turbo discs fitted..
