Balljoint Beam trailing arm stops/limiters.
Craig Torrens - October 16th, 2003 at 08:42 PM

I have seen several offroad beetles and buggies fitted with bump/rebound stops on the front trailing arms. This has been a welded stop on the beam and a corresponding welded "thingy"on the trailing arm. Wes, I think you may have this ???

Can you buy this over the counter or can someone make me one !

Craig,

Get yourself a copy of this and then you can make them yourself, or at least show someone what is required and have them make them for you.

Craig Torrens - November 20th, 2003 at 09:34 PM

Not for the Hillclimb car Cam !! Its 1 of six VW powered toys in the collection :D

This is for my current project, an offroad J&S buggy. I just want to set it up right the first time.

You freakin what? 6? :o lol.

Sounds cool dude! Have been contemplating getting a buggy, running IRS/balljoint, 4 wheel disks, down low with a close ratio box and nippy T1 motor.

What other toys have you got? :D
