If you attach it at the same level as the upper arm, than the slight tilt of the hub will have a zero affect. If you attach all the way on the height of the lower arm, than it will matter a lot. In the original build, it is actually attached on the same level as the upper arm, I guess that's why I observed less toe out in that case, than with the modified build. However, I think what you say is only true for non-Ackermann geometry, for Ackermann, still there's a very slight offset. Furthermore, the effect is only totally zero if the steering link is attached with a towball pin, so that the link can rotate on the pin and is not effected by the tilt of the hub. Quote
Didumos69 Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Interesting read, nice to get an impression of the process. Very recognizable too. An alternate model always comes with compromises. And the end result is something to be proud of. Suspension setup is great as is the bodywork. I'm working on an alternate build of the Zetros myself and I can confirm it's very hard to put together a sophisticated suspension setup with the available parts.
