I'm back..... I did what most young car modifiers do.... Jack the wheel up to see what the fitment looks like, and to imagine what it could possibly look like slammed to the floor.... Which it probably will never do  IMG_2790 by Max Wyer, on Flickr IMG_2789 by Max Wyer, on Flickr IMG_2795 by Max Wyer, on FlickrLooks quite cool I think. Cool So I decided to ruin this by making some caster corrected ans narrowed arms.... -3cm from each side  IMG_2842 by Max Wyer, on Flickr

Ian, I know you're lurking, here's how It was done! How to adjust caster for low riding on your 2CV suspension arms: First, clean off the grease and dirt.  IMG_2829 by Max Wyer, on FlickrMark a line to cut around the arm in order to separate the king pin housing from the arm. Note the line cut perpendicular to the first line to show where it was positioned originally. Make this line long if you want to narrow the arms.  IMG_2831 by Max Wyer, on FlickrCut around the arm on the line. Don't cut too deep, only about 2-3mm. And smack with a hammer  IMG_2835 by Max Wyer, on FlickrSmack with the hammer until it falls off. You wouldn't know at what position it sat if this line wasn't there. if you want to, make a line around the arm parallel to the last cut however much you'd like to narrow the arms. Cut on this line until it falls off. Put the king pin mount back onto the end and rotate it forwards, the most that you'll need to turn it is about 7mm (for a low 2CV).  IMG_2833 by Max Wyer, on FlickrWeld it up and paint it. Here you can see the waste metal that you're left with.  IMG_2861 by Max Wyer, on FlickrHope that made sense... it was so fun that I didn't take many useful photos... Haha |

Haha. If you meant me  Such a cool look to this buggy. I love them lowered but I love the original suspension too.

Haha, I meant another Ian (Ian henderson) who can see what I've posted but doesn't have an account. Thanks for the feed back though Ianredspecial. It's much appreciated! I thought I was talking to myself for the last dozen posts. |
