Sorry Pete, in Dutch it would be a peace of cake to explain what I want to say, but in technical English it doesn't make much sense, but I think you are getting it, the only thing is when the car will dropp into the springs for instance landing after a jump your centering will be gone but on a normal 2cv it will get stronger, just warning you but you understood that already.... Again it's a nice piece of engeniering out of your hands (I hope)..... looks great, will be a beast driving it off road.... I like it a lot.....

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Front Suspension Problems! With the suspension on full compression, the steering tie rod would hit the steering column. Solution was to rotate the rack clockwise in the saddles and put a bend in the tie rod. Still have problems on full lock!!!!!!! with chassis getting in the way. Attachment:

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 I can't see where the chassis is getting in the way but it's hard to tell what is what in there!
I'm very impressed with your creation though, your a free thinker that's for sure.
