Rear active toe elimination Options

[wortdog]

Some of you were interested in the rear active toe thing I mentioned last night, so here's a link with some information on it:

So, in essence Forcus, you are suggesting that you weld a piece of square cast iron and weld it to the cast iron control arms to keep them from moving backward or forward because the arms are moving at a diagonal direction. Now, if you were to weld in a horizontal piece of square cast iron, the arms wouldn't be allowed to move at the point of weld any more or less than the length of that bar? Seems logical to me but, I would probably still want to weld the arms to the linkage too for extra measure.

No, no welding.

I figured that the way the rear steer was actuated or contained on the GVR4 was on that one mounting point on the arm. So to "lock out" the steering we should be able to use that one point.

Unfortunately, simply extending a short arm with rod ends to the subframe and creating a new mount would probably cause quite a bit of bind. In any case instead of extending it out, extend it forward to the current mount. Basically you are just inhibiting the arm from pivoting by tying in the rear part of the arm to the front and simply utlizing the mount already built in for your tie-in point.

Hell. If I have some time later I'll draw something and scan it.
