 Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Front Suspension. Pivot point is the same radius and the coil spring pivot. Attachment:
Screen Shot 2015-06-25 at 16.32.29.jpg [ 236.03 KiB | Viewed 3657 times ]
As the arm moves the strut (bottom mount point) radius stays the same, only the angle of the strut alters. The struts are designed to lift a C5 @ 1460 Kg Spheres come in a range of pressures, 32Bar to 63Bar so I can set how soft/hard the suspension is set, also LHM spheres fit, these can be re-gassed to any pressure you require.

With the spring setup as on the picture, the suspension works more progressive, as the radius gets larger when the wheel moves up, a standard 2cv suspension is also quite progressive because of this sort of setup, unless it's lowered to much.

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 @Lpgo. You are half-correct, had to move my pivot point. It now positioned on the down side of where the steering tie-rod crosses the arm. Of course.....the best position is where the steering Tie-Rod directly crosses the arm! Need to redo the other arm, but have no more laser cut brackets
