I promised pics, and here they are:







It's pretty hard to see, but there is a black machined bushing between the U joint and the steering column. A friend of mine, Mike Humphreys, did the machining of this part, as well as the internal pushing that keeps the steering shaft centered in the steering column.



This will be the last I post on this topic for awhile, the next will be tuning it with the correct springs and shock adjustment, and the addition of a sway bar, but I'll get the whole thing running before I do that, so it may be awhile.

Jason-whew!

Without too much planning, I ended up in Fresno this weekend after a couple days spent at Laguna Seca with the Audi Club. It also just so happens that Bruce and his Eyeball Engineering is also located in Fresno, so I got a chance to snap some pics of one of Bruce's suspensions on a show car before it went to uphostery(sp?). This will be a very nice car, unfortuneatly for GL fans, it will be Cal Look/Hot Rod.

What the $#@% are they waiting for to produce this!?!

Is this potentially what us beam front suspension people dreamt of?

Get on the horn! Get those folks to make it for us.

All those in favor?

The lower A-arm pivots look like a tie rod end? The front one is on one axis and the rear one is on another?
Great detail, excellent pics! They should sell these.
