i want to know more about the device
Need more info, with only this picture i cant work out in my head or graph paper how this works. maybe if i saw it from the side view? im gonna say what i see if you wanna say what you see great, if you wanna pm me great. im not a millionaire this is the best way i can learn about this i know its dirty to post pics of other peoples car but its no secret anymore we all seen it on fb by now so lets get to the bottom of it. people say its a cantilever. i know old school cantilever its different not as simple. people say oh its old tech there just doing a modern take. maybe but i been looking at cars a long time. this aint no "spring rod" and it aint as simple as a rayburn or howe cantilever. soooo lets start. first look at the picture i have pinned. there are numbered lines drawn to the parts i see.
#1 looks like a threaded short shock body of some kind cant see what it is connected to or its purpose but it looks to be above or in front of the axle tube so maybe a limiter or something not sure what you think?
#2 also seems to be some sort of cusioned limiter? looks to be bolted in where it top rod would bolt? hard to tell? is there a top rod on this setup? is it a 3 link ls/4 link r/s with this thing hooked in there?
#3looks like some sort of lever prob where the cantilever stuff comes in but how is it connected to that cushoned mount (#2) looks like it has tape on it is it a chain? is it some long threaded thing hard to see
#4 well is some sort of hydralic control devise. with bumps on it.appears to be fully collapsed in the std ride height position so can say it extends as lr drops? is it a dampener or does it use hydralic pressuer to push or pull something we can see it has a line going to a canister? gas pressure canister? almost looks like a schrader valve on it but also looks to be mounted into the birdcage system maybe?
#5 looks to be the bottom bar of 4 link mounted in a normal position?
-where is the top bar?
-How does lr drop start the device moving?
-Stacked lr spring to alow spring preload at all times seen it before but not quite like that.
-is it on a floated bird cage or is it locked out like a 3 link?
ill go ahead and apologize to the rumleys for posting and asking but i am curious and im nobody that wins all the time or can afford to buy"knowlege" so how else will i learn until its lapping me.
