Guinea Pigs required! was created by mlines
Following on from a conversation with Bryan from this forum I have a possible new product lined up.
I need two volunteers who are happy to try out a small modification. You must:
1. be prepared to try it out immediately - (no "I will give it a go during the summer" answers!)
2. Have reasonably new Kingpin bearings - (This is not a cure for worn ones)
3. Have an element of "wobble" or lightness about the steering - (But not worn panhard rod bushes!)
4. Supply me pictures of the installation
5. Drive on the road regularly
In return I will send you the parts for free.

Mine to is a daily driver which had no wobble until I fitted small muds (which were new and balanced) I now suffer a very small amount of wobble between 35 an 40 mph :whistle:

Ok - three people in the trial. If you can send me your postal addresses via PM that will be great.
The rear shock brackets do not fit the front. Various suppliers can supply extensions for the front, these fit on the top of the shock and are therefore "brand dependent" as the threads on the top vary depending on brand.
However, on Friday I will receive the first prototype of a Front Shock re-positioner, this will fit on the bottom and will therefore fit all types of shock. It will also be "bolt-on" (I am sure someone will point out that you can move your front shock easily if you can weld).
If this works then it will form an "instant boost" or "perk me up" kit I am putting together in conjunction with Bits4Vits Spring Spacers. Will hoepfully be trialling it on mine shortly
