Suspension movement

[LRD414]

Playing around with a new camera angle for something different on the next trip.

No wonder the lower control arm bushes wear out; look at the movement required just on suburban streets at normal height.

PS .... I realise this position puts the camera at risk but that's ok.
It's a Go Pro knock-off that will only go on for short periods I think.

That bottom arm moves a fair bit on acceleration. Cool vid Scott.

I was surprised about that. The bushes have done around 40k and are the second set of bushes in the arms. No knocking or other issues to date so I’m guessing the movement is normal.

* gets popcorn * I look forward to that vid :)

Have a look at the videos of the US Raptor getting driven with enthusiasm also. Especially note the body to frame bushes and how much work they do. Generally, refinement = compliance and the loads applied are huge.
